UNLV

[djm19]

Teams have figured us out on defense. Let us shoot layups.

Well that was fun. My first time seeing the Pokes in person this year and I have to be honest, overall I wasn't impressed.

Adams is a human highlight reel. The UNLV fans around us were wishing they had him on their team this year.

Nance looks to be at 50% of what he was before mono hit. He just doesn't have the bounce in his step. He tries, but he just doesn't have any gas in the tank yet.

The other players....Cooke and Hankerson missing layups and dunks. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy ball handling. The Cowboys looked like a poorly coached team, and tonight I think Shyatt was outcoached for sure. Putting Bentz in the game instead of JL or Gorski? WTF. The biggest deficit - we have zero, zip, nada perimeter defense. People were actually laughing at how many open looks UNLV was getting. They kept commenting on this defensive genius we have for a coach (insert sarcasm here). I am sorry to say, I have to agree with them.

I have officially removed my brown and gold glasses for the year. I don't see this team winning either the USU game or the UNM game. I also think we are out in the first round of the MWC tourney. I'll still hope like hell that the kids prove me wrong, but after seeing things in person tonight, this is an average basketball team at best. I hope they make me eat a whole lot of crow. We shall see. Thanks kids, it was fun while it lasted.

Well at this rate I still think we can still get a CBI home game, fingers crossed.

The university has already said there will be no post season home games. Renovations start next week after senior night

Renovations start in May. AA is available for post season.

I believe sometime around when they finished phase 1

HELL YA! I know we can win the CBI.

 

[BeaverPoke]

The Pokes have two weeks to get back into their early season form. Nance is not close to being there yet....but I have faith. Too many bad turnovers again. Think we need to work other guys into the rotation if we're in a scoring drought. And I'd much prefer to see Lieberman or Gorski out there over Bentz. UNLV did shoot about twice their average from the arc. That didn't hurt them. It is tough to beat a team on the road that hits 60% on 20 shots from the 3.

Everybody shoos well against the Pokes. There has to be a reason. Bad defense perhaps?

I'd say a combo of bad luck and mono.

Mono doesn't count this year.

First it was Luke.
Then Nance-ACL
Mono had a small effect. It's another excuse.
WE SHOULD HAVE MORE DEPTH THAN TO LOSE BY 23 AT A CRAPPY AIR FORCE. :twocents:

I only ask as I had a convo with an athletic dept. official at th MSU football game who said work began the day after senior night. Who knows. It very well could have changed

I'm not sure on that anyways, all I've really heard is on here. I just think it was around the reopening I saw something about that

Good to know. I hadn't caught that

 

[WYCowboy]

I don't know what the stats are, but I would be interested to know who got the most loose balls last night. It just seems like we are a step slower than everyone else right now.

Maybe we do. Our man Larry won't use the bench enough to find out.

You are kidding right? Bad luck and mono have nothing to do with Wood going for 29 the first time against us.
Mono kept Nance out for 4 games. Not 14. Bad luck? Come on man. Enough with the damn excuses.

Mono may as well have been a season-ending injury. Look at the before and after for Larry (bless his heart for coming back so soon and giving it his all). Who knows if he'll get back to his old self before we're done playing this season. Oh, and he was our best player. Seems like a pretty good "excuse" to me. Sucks, but shit keeps happening to us and I don't know how we could have overcome all this stuff. Take away injuries and everyone's singing a different tune about the direction of the program. I say give Shyatt a raise and an extension.

Damn. So REALLY imagine how dangerous Boise would be if they hadn't lost Drmic and how bad UNLV would have waxed us the other night had they had more than 7 people in uniform. Holy hell, think about the beatings we'd have taken from SDSU had Pollee been healthy this year....DAMN. Every team has injuries and illness and dismissals. The good ones figure it out and move forward, the bad ones don't.

EXACTLY!!! Like Wyoming is the only team that ever has injuries or sickness. Nay, Wyoming is the only team that lets them crush their season year-in and year-out.
