Poster17 Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Let's go Rebels though this will be their last chance for a win this season. Quote
crsmitty04 Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I'm not sure if we're just short handed and not that good, or if the team just wants the season to be over, or both. 2 Quote
Quickdraw Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Hicks is really frustrating to me. Has a dribbling error, loses the ball and then stands there expecting Bedford to pick t up while AF jumps on it. This guy has been a failure. Quote
Slappy Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Good game so far. Pretty competitive. See if the rebels can’t get a little home court juju to pull this one out in second half. Quote

And who gave him the green light to shoot beyond the arc with his 18% 3-pt rate? He's already taken a couple of shots from outside this game. 1 Quote

I think there are more AFA fans here than Rebel fans. 2 Quote

UNLV2001 Posted March 13 Author Posted March 13 For those that want a coaching change - a loss to AFA right here would aid that effort Quote
sebsasour Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I don't mean this in a shit talky way, but UNLV's performance in this tournament over the last decade is such a bizarre anomaly. Like if the tournament were in Clune every year, I would expect Air Force to fall ass backwards into a semi final from time to time. The fact that you guys haven't made it to Friday in over a decade is wild. It's not like you have terrible seeds year after year either 3 Quote

Quickdraw Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Rebs get a shot and everyone on the team becomes spectators when the ball is in the air. Quote
