VincentVegaBond2 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Lobos don't look bad. I like how they play D and move the ball around. Rebels have had few easy shots in the 1st half. Surprised they lost to NMSU and SJSU but they came to play today. 1 Quote
Qwelish Posted January 25 Posted January 25 unm has huge size advantages at the 3 and the 4 positions. Rebs are having a tough time with it. Lobos haven't dealt with the UNLV quickness all that well. Anybodies game, but Dent has been the best player in the game so far. Quote

This game will be tight at the two minute mark second half. Just waiting to get to the exciting end. He's referencing Hicks throwing up a wild one after getting fouled. 1 1 Quote

He got fouled and just threw the ball at the back of the backboard. 1 Quote
VincentVegaBond2 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Nice little run here, taking advantage of Lobo mistakes and fast breaks!! 1 point game 1:59 before halftime 1 Quote

Tipoff in 10 minutes. I figured there'd be more simply cuz it's the Lobos. There is a lot to do in Vegas and now we have professional sports, yeah, but this should never be considered acceptable. Football got over 40k to a game last year which was once thought unthinkable. Give the fans a program that generates excitement and hope and they will turn out. There are enough fans to get 12 to 15k to the Mack. People in vegas like winners. Win, get a big record and the fans will show up. General fan is not as up to speed as board posters. Quote

VincentVegaBond2 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Really good 1st half. Rebels came out and played with heart but the the Lobos look like the better team. Hope they can keep it close in the 2nd half. Good effort and energy though! Quote
Lobonado Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Horrible refs. This type of game favors the Rebels. If we can hit our threes we win this one. Quote

But I have noticed it includes a decent amount of Lobo fans who are also wearing red. Of course announced attendance will probably be 5500-6k, lol 1 Quote
Qwelish Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Great 1st half of basketball. Rebels came to play. UNLV talent is on par with the top teams in the conference. Not a huge fan of the size of the team, but I get what KK was shooting for. Quote

PTR Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Pretty choppy first half. Lots of ticky-tack calls, but part of that both teams struggled offensively the last 10 minutes of the half. Dent is capable of getting 20 in a half, but honestly UNM is a lot better when he's distributing. Really should be getting Nelly touches almost every time down when Cherry is out. UNM needs to get something out of Amzil. 1 Quote
