UNLV at Boise State

[B_Lootz]

Yeah, about what I expected so far

[B_Lootz]

Giving up three offensive rebounds on a single possession. What an absolute farce. Boise is simply toying with us. Out-physicaled, out-hustled, out-played.

This is how BSU fans felt with SDSU coming to town last weekend. Did not go well. My gut is telling me that UNLV not only covers the spread, but they get the W. Long athletic teams and quick guards, give us problems. UNLV has both.

Your gut should be telling you that BSU usually loses to well coached teams, and UNLV is hoping for their players to overcome their situation.

Get rid of this assclown of a coach

[Buttermaker]

I thought this game would be much closer than it is.

I figured it would be about like it has turned out. From what I've seen UNLV is a weak team this year and sadly I'm not surprised.

First time I've watched unlv and from this effort I'd have to agree with you. Maybe just an off night...

[BSUTOP25]

Pearson Carmichael looks pretty good. I hope Duryea doesn’t ruin him.

[Hashbrowns]

Boise shot 71% inside the arc (22/31). Peanut Carmichael debuts as a Bronco scoring 8 in 18 minutes (RJ Keene out with nose injury).

Degenhart 21 pts (8/11) and 11 boards.

[Hashbrowns]

UNLV is ass.

How many times did Cardenas have the ball in his hand and the defender was 6' off of him. Dude had all day to make a decision.   UNLV simply doesn't have any idea of how to play defense.  Call me a FORMER KK defender. His nickel is up. 

[Qwelish]

The string of going down by 20+ vs even half way decent teams is pretty consistent at this point.

If UNLV can hire Mike Brown I'd be very happy. 

NBA champion and amazing teacher of the game.

Ronald McDonald passed on Brown after he showed interest twice, because she's a clown.

[4rowsup]

Just got back from the game.  I am surprised.  BSU played well for about 32 minutes.  Hustled their tails off on both ends of the court.  Not so much the last 8 minutes.  Still good bounce back win.  

[UNLV2001]

UNLV looked like they hadn't played in months - turnovers, air balls, missed FT's, turnovers galore 

Utterly pathetic showing all around 

[UNLV2001]

UNLV is now 9-0 against teams outside the top 150 in the KenPom ratings, beating up on opponents with an average ranking of No. 235. Conversely, the Scarlet and Gray have played six teams inside the top 60 and have lost every game, going 0-6 against teams with an average ranking of No. 41.

Twitter and FB have already fired Kruger.

Basically a dead man walking.

He needs a magical finish or he's done. 

AD EH hired his football guy in days. 

I hope he's as decisive and successful hiring for basketball. 

I don't see why not. He's probably making calls already and may have a short list.

Two guys I'd have on my radar are Mike Brown and Billy Donovan. I'd also consider Chris Holtmann, John Thompson III, Mark Jackson, Monty Williams, Mike D'Antoni and Adrian Griffin.

Boise State was loaded for bear after the lackluster effort against the Aztecs. The three vets came to play tonight. Rebels looked a lot worse than last year and played like it. Kruger is nothing like the old man. 

Biggest surprise was Boise State burning true freshman Carmichael’s redshirt halfway through the season. Likely because of poor three point shooting to this point.
