On paper UNLV has a better recruiting class if they sign Bennett then the Aztecs. The Rebels had better talent then the Aztecs last year but SDSU split with them. Both teams will have at least 5 new players, in 2012. All that matters is how they play as a team , who can get the most from the combination of new and returning players. With squads of 11-13 players ,what coaching staff does the most with the talent they have . Look forward to watching it unfold on the court.

I know UNLV has a hard enough time getting the big guys here. Btw Murray St. lost one game...one game. Still got a bad seed. 1. Yeah, because of the MW's TV deal. Oh, and because you're still hanging your hat on a National Championship won before some of your current players were born (I'm guessing, I've had a couple glasses of wine with dinner and I don't care to do the math... whatever, it's close enough). 2. Yeah, because of their lack of OOC wins against top team -- a problem SDSU won't have. Oh, and a 6 seed ain't toooo bad, btw.

MW's TV deal is part of the problem, but if you think teams like Duke, Michigan St, Kentucky or Kansas will automatically jump into a deal with SDSU because they have a tv contract with ESPN...you're mistaken. Thats too high risk of a game for them. Only few with the big balls would actually take that game...because like I said earlier...you need them more than they need you. Risk doesn't equal reward. Not sure why you're bringing up UNLV's national title...When people want to talk history we usually bring up our history...this isn't that case. That's a rough guess. First you'd have to get lucky in scheduling and then have to perform on the road. Even then you couldn't slip in conference, because Big West is highly unlikely to ever get an at large bid.

People tend to forget that the whole coaching staff also changed. Playing style changed. Everything. They surprised everyone out the gate which led to big late season expectations which they probably werent ready for. A season under our core players belt and better pieces coming in I think we have real expectations in now. SDSU I think will have an advantage out the gate though. The chemistry with Thames, Tap, and Franklin will lead the pace and it won't take long for Shepard to mesh. Interesting to see how Fisher handles your 5 spot situation for defense though.

Excuses, excuses. We had to go through a whole lineup/chemistry change. Nobody brings that one up because WE DON"T NEED TO.

I'm pretty sure I heard this "rebuilding year" talk everywhere from your fans. Were they excuses...no, just legitimate reasons as is ours. Why do you think UNM were favorites out the gate? Those reason exactly.

Just admit that you guys effed up when alot of people thought you guys were going to be brilliant last year. You'll get more respect around here.

Excelling is getting dominated in the first round? Then UNLV excelled

Being rated as high as #12 in the nation by mid season is excelling. Winning the MWC title is excelling. Post season is a real big deal but a first round exit doesn't erase previous accomplishments.

Um, thread title is misleading without a question mark... unless I am missing something that this is actually a done deal & confirmed by reputable sources... Agree, the originator of this thread should modify the title - at least until "it actually happens."

Hey Troll are you getting ready for an exciting football season? Will you guys dump that pathetic excuse of a football team please? I do truly hope you enjoy football season because basketball season will be even more terrifying to watch. Come talk smack to the SDSU fans when your pathetic basketball team can actually win a few games aginst us. It's just sad seeing you try to talk smack to a fanbase that owns you and your city.. it's 9 of 11 that we have won against your pathetic team. So if we're as bad as you say we are than your team must be really horrible.

MonsterSiZiN doesn't seem like a troll to me - just a UNLV fan who is optimistic about his team next season. Nothing wrong with that and it should be okay for fans of other teams to come on here and talk hoops. I'd be excited if I was a rebel fan too with a potential starting lineup of Marshall, Jones, Moser, Bennett, and Birch - plus a deep bench. Should be a battle next season.

He's not a troll. He's just a UNLV fan. Whoever said it above is exactly right. UNLV fans boast about their recruiting rankings. We boast conference championships and a dominate 6 year record over them.

Saying we were dominated in the first round of the NCAA's sounds like a jab at us not a comment about his optimism towards his team....

There's a difference between getting "dominated" by a good team and being beaten by a very poor team. North Carolina State was a quality team that finished in the upper half of their conference. They took Duke and North Carolina to the wire in games. Colorado finished 5th in their horrendously bad conference and had to win their conference tournament to even get into the field of 68.
