I will probably catch this one. I mean, it's in the middle of the kid's nap so I don't have an excuse.

Would have been much better to catch it at a bar in Fort Meyer with Nips. But I guess sullenly watching it on the inlaw's couch is the same thing.

Hope Zimmerman plays, to see how TB stacks up.

I hope he doesn't.  TB can kick Goodluck's butt.  I am OK with him being at UNLV.

We already are going to have our rpi brought down with these games. It would be nice if the committee wasn't also focusing on the fact that two teams we played were missing star players. Doubly so if we lose.

I'd much rather everyone played.

I too would like to see the Zimmerman TB matchup. We need to see what we really have in TB. Still very early tho.

He (Zimmerman), looked quite ill on the bench yesterday. If he plays, I bet in short stints.

@PU_ACL_Donor: How excited is @dandakich today? Gets to watch the battle of the basketball moms as Troy Williams faces Stephen Zimmerman...

Can't wait! Wish I could watch it live, but will read through the game thread!

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,720]

This game is going to be incredibly telling to me.  UNLV is a slightly above average high major program, with talent and athleticism.  Which is exactly what I think we are now.  somewhere in the 30-100 ranked range like so many other teams.  Its time to separate ourselves if we can. 

 

We can do that by beating other such teams and here is 1 chance.

Let's win and look like a team who has a clue on defense and has the intensity on rebounds and offensive flow to be a top team this year. In other words don't repeat Monday or Tuesday let's go

As long as Freddie banks doesn't hit 10 threes and mark wade doesn't have 18 assists we should be fine. Sorry had a flashback to 1987 final 4 classic game

[IUsafety 2,775]

Oddsshark.com has us losing 71.6 - 74.2. Hate seeing them pick an underdog to beat us.

[FortWayneHoosier 6,246]

Lets just leave the island with this win and get home and practice our tails off

[coonhounds 9,315]

More I hear about unlv the more I get worried. We better be tough on the glass tonight or could be disaster

[Hovadipo 56,940]

Peegs says it sounds like Zimmerman is starting. ITH says it sounds like Troy and Jimmy are starting.

[johnsoniu 6,621]

Walton time.

 

Smoke'em if ya got'em

[Hovadipo 56,940]

@AndyWittry: On the #BillWalton4Little5 front, I just talked to him about it. He's heard of it but never been. Said he should go, he gave me a thumbs up.
