The post I quoted said UNLV needed to focus on buying tickets and support their program, so my point was that there is quite a bit of support.
But yet we are to believe this kid thinks Dave Rice who is 0-4 in his career in the NCAA tournament can get this young but talented group to the Final Four. Yeah right. Dave Rice is good at getting a breifcase delivered and that is all. How is that Running Rebel team faring this year against the mighty MW. Well maybe Rice can win a game in the NIT.
Anyone see the article in Vegas that absolutely hammered Rice and UNLV in wake of the signing? Can't link it now but I will.

Would have been a nice get, but NO program hinges on one player. Rome wasn't built in a day, and even though Fred is off to a fast start, our program won't be either. We continue to do more with less, and with each recruiting class, things continue to improve. The trend is our friend, and the future has never looked brighter. We're going to get there. Our program has a rock solid foundation.
I'm surprised this thread is still open, not sure what the point is. I think everyone is basically ready to move on.
Dear Pete Kaffey,
I appreciate your efforts to convince Rashad Vaughn to transfer to Findlay Prep and commit to UNLV! As promised, we have set you up as Findlay Prep assistant coach and will ensure you are financially set for life in an untraceable manner.
It is Vegas baby, we can make it happen! Your criminal background and robbery charges actually played to your advantage in this case.

It cuts both ways. The more good teams you play the higher the RPI and more chances there are to establish yourself. Anyway, Off the top of my head, UNLV routinely has has non-con games versus AZ, Wisconsin, Louisville, Illinois (I think I remember the Rebels beating the Cyclones a year or two ago as well) and next year has Kansas, Duke, Louisville and AZ. Also MWC has some pretty tough games. Try going in to The Pit in NM or Viejas in San Diego and getting a W. I'm not saying the conference is better than the Big-12 but the MWC deserves a little credit. Also, just off the top of my head, I count 8 RPI top 40 teams the Rebels have played or will play this year, although I will conceed the schedule is a little softer this year.

Yes, this year is down. Look at last year though. I'll save you the google. It was #1. Like I said, I'm not saying the MWC is better than the Big 12, its just probably better than you think most years.
Because when you can play the Wyoming's of college basketball every night, you do it. UNLV might Wichita State the Mountain West next season. (All due respect to Larry).
