City is overrun with bull riding folks this weekend. I’ve seen a bunch of Arizona State people, a handful of Fresno State, maybe 20-25ish LSU, and no one from these other three schools.

KVB is the key to this whole thing. Defensively it’s a no brainer, his rebounding and rim protection allows everyone els to play aggressive and free. On offense he allows Naz or Emmitt to post vs much smaller guys than having to out physical college centers plus he’s the only guy on the team who sets real screens and actually rolls to the bucket. It’s not that he’s one of our 5 most talented players it’s what he brings and the space he creates. Until Wade figures this out we’ll continue to see the same problems all year long.

As far as the talent not meshing. Is that because of different styles of play or is it just egos clashing as everyone wants to be the big star and high scorer? I have tried to be patient and hope for the first but as of right now my guess is it is the latter.
I am a huge Tiger basketball fan and usually don't pay much attention to other teams until we play them. But this summer I got hooked on the Mac McClung viral videos of him dunking and being unstoppable on drives. So I have followed Georgetown where he ended up. Mac has had all kinds of trouble adjusting to college ball and the weakness of his game has been exposed as he is a terrible three point shooter.
What has been much more surprising is another freshman player that Georgetown has. His name is Josh LeBlanc and he is from Baton Rouge and Madison Prep. Not living in BR, I had never heard of him. I see now from the internet that he was listed at 6'5" which is possibly why Wade didn't recruit him hard. He is now listed as 6'7" and can jump out of the building.
He has been a tremendous blue collar rebounder and defender against players taller than himself. I just keep switching him and Naz and wondering what kind of team we would have with a player willing to play low and do the dirty stuff? I know you are supposed to go for the sure thing in the 5* flashy players but don't you want more of LeBlanc's type of player in building a team. Everyone can't be a star. Especially if the guy is from Baton Rouge. Isn't Smart the only Louisiana player Wade has recruited?

we are just too soft..... no one seems to know how to play physical play after play !! we may be able to play that way a few plays but the team seem not to be able to withstand a team that plays hard the whole game....they are getting hipped to death out of position! waters is lost........

Doesn't look like UNLV or BUY will have much either. I grew up on UNLV basketball first so I'm glad to catch one of their games as well

Are they selling Tarkanian chew towels at the souvenir stand?

Dude I saw zero BYU fans or St Mary. I assume any UNLV fans were just people around town I was shocked at the number of LSU fans to be honest

In the arena now. It is an absolutely gorgeous state of the art facility. Just a handful of Tiger fans so far, but it’s only mid first half of earlier game. We’ll scream loud.

Holy shite what an ending to the UNLV BYU game
ETA: Last second 3pt shot with a defender in tight airspace down 90-89 with like 11 seconds to go, win 92-90
