Your official Las Vegas odds are "Yea right"

Instead of Gatorade, team chugs Yoo-Hoo

Gave up basketball for Lent

Your shoe deal is with Thom McAn

Players complain to refs that the other team is "Always getting in

Yep, the WAC gets two teams. Nevada just lost to Utah State 79-77 in the semifinals.

Did you know he came out of high school in Evanston Wyoming averaging over 30 points a game and only USU offered him any thing? The fans at Wyoming were ticked at the coach and staff at Wyoming for passing on this kid, He is truely a remarkable young man! And only a junior so we get him one more year!

not everyone in Wyoming was ticked...I for one wasn't. Yes he can shoot lights out, and did in Evanston, I wasn't sold on his defense or his size then, and still am not. I am not sure the MWC would be a good league for him, it is too physical and the guards for the most part are either too big or too quick for him. Just my opinion, he certainly has done well at Utah State. Then again I am one of the few Steve McClain supporters left in Wyoming LOL...

I thought the refs were to blame for your team not getting an at-large bid.

I totally disagree. That kid could play anywhere, including a program like Duke.
Also, I don't believe that the MWC teams are tougher or better than those in the WAC. UNLV, which just won the MWC tourney, beat Nevada this year in Reno and it was by far Nevada's worst game of the year. 1-15 from 3pt range.
I think that these two conferences are about even.
I would love to see a challenge between these two conferences, such as the ACC does with the Big Ten and did with the Big East. It would be exciting.

Yeah, it would be the "Remember the old WAC?" tourney.
