UNLV - Wyoming
No. 11 UNLV finally tripped up on the road in 68-66 loss to Wyoming
Rebels' flirtation with disaster away from the Mack can't be overcome, dropping them behind San Diego State in MWC race.
February 4th, 2012
The lesson this time: You can only flirt with fire for so long on the road before you finally get a bit of a burn. After making enough clutch plays to overcome stretches of poor play last week to land overtime wins at Boise State and Air Force, No. 11 UNLV found itself on the wrong side of one of those nail-biters away from home on Saturday, falling to Wyoming, 68-66, at the Arena-Auditorium.

Motivated Rebels get revenge on Colorado State, 82-63
In wake of former UNLV coach's passing, Rebels play for Rice while blowing out Rams
February 2nd, 2012
UNLV already had enough to be motivated by coming into Wednesday's home meeting with Colorado State, with the most notable source being last year's embarrassing 15-point home loss to the Rams. It was a dose of unfortunate news that led the Rebels to focus in a little more en route to a crucial 82-63 victory in front of a crowd of 15,053 at the Thomas & Mack Center. Read more »
Going For Broke
Jumping on the bandwagon is daunting, but it’s hard not to like the Giants
February 2nd, 2012
Without the opportunity to place action on Super Bowl XLVI, I’d be left with the following quandary: Root for the New England Patriots and their arrogant, condescending coach, their obnoxious fans and their smug, pretty-boy quarterback who gives new meaning to the phrase “poor sport” whenever he gets his ass kicked. Or pull for the New York Giants and their cantankerous, drill-sergeant coach, their egotistical fans and their entitled quarterback who, like a 3-year-old, went crying to daddy the day he was drafted to get out of playing in San Diego.

Well, get used to it, because it appears that absolutely nothing will come easy on the road in the Mountain West Conference this season, no matter who you are.
