Nevada At A Glance

[CarlHungus]

Nevada is the 7th most extensive, 34th most populous, and 9th least densely populated state. Las Vegas is the largest city, while the capital is Carson City. It is also known as the silver state. The median househould income is $52,008, which is 34th nationally.

I hope more and more "experts" keep saying this leading up to Thursday. Don't want a UAB situation happening again.

Seems like the hot pick for the 5/12 never comes true so hoping we get chosen by most as the upset.

Nevada beat CSU yesterday. Kicked the crap out of them actually.

Nevada won by 8, and CSU had it within 1 in the last 2 minutes...not really an ass kicking

I don't love the fact that Hallice has inside info on us

If information he has makes them that much better, they're already ******. We can shoot and run well and we are okay defensively. We don't rebound all that well. I don't know what else he's going to tell them.

Actually the hot pick is Mid Tenn St over Minnesota, so actually I kind of hope that does happen.

Ah, maybe I should have watched the end. When I was watching it was a whoopin' but that was mostly in the 1st half... either way, Nevada is very capable of pulling the upset.

That number 11 he's pretty good.

Guard rebounding will be at a premium in this game. Teams shooting a lot of 3s see more long rebounds, ISU will need to be prepared to block out on those.

 

[WastedTalent]

Nevada's starting lineup:
- Lindsey Drew 6'4 180 So guard: defacto PG avgs 6, 5, and 5.
- Marcus Marshall 6'3 180 Sr guard: avgs 20, 2, and 3.5 big time scorer. NBA level type shooting guard. Only Avgs 2.5 two point makes per game, but 4.5 free throw makes. 3.3 makes to 8.6 attempts from 3 38%
- DJ Fenner 6'6 205 Sr guard: 14, 3.5 & 2 43% from 3 on 64 makes
- Jordan Caroline 6'7 235 So guard: 15, 9 & 2 Big guard, basically a forward that is their leading rebounder
- Cameron Oliver 6-8 225 So forward: 16, 9, 2, and 2.5 blocks Also shoots 38% from 3 on 62 makes. NBA level talent. Top to middle second round pick on mock drafts.

Alot like us apparently but would like to think our competition is better. Fingers crossed.

Biggest challenge will be not to overlook them - up to coach and seniors to make sure that doesn't happen.

Sheot we are screwed we don't have either!

Buford is Buford. Nobody can handle Buford.

I think Morton will have a big game for us.

 

[CycloneBBFan]

This will be Iona 2.0

You are probably right. I don't know much about Mountain West conference but there's nothing on Nevada's schedule that jumps out that screams this is a great team.

[CloneLawman]

But can they handle Buford?

No. And I think he's going to go all 3onte on them, to boot.

 

[andybernard]

Do they have a message board to read for entertainment? This is all I'm finding.

I expect a big game from Marcus Morris too.

This is kinda a board.

 

[Cyclonepride]

It seems likely that we will be able to switch on screens out top, which could be a good deal, though they have at least a couple guys you don't want to lose track of. Their lack of depth is something I'd think we would like to take advantage of.

CW things that it'll be a big distraction for our guys.

Distraction?! Come on. It's not like the players are going to the local bar to hang with their high school girlfriends the night before. They have more distractions getting tickets for home games then they will playing in Milwaukee.
