State vs UNLV

[Coach34]

Hubbard keeps getting swatted driving to the hole

[Coach34]

10-10 at the first media time out

[HoopsDawg]

Shouldn't we have 11?

[LC Dawg]

Shouldn't we have 11?

They called one of Harris's a 2.

[RockyDog]

Shouldn't we have 11?

Thought so. Harris sank two 3s

[HoopsDawg]

Claudell has hit 2 3's. They only gave him 1.

[HoopsDawg]

They called one of Harris's a 2.

He was inside the NBA line but not the college line.

[Coach34]

fixed it

[Coach34]

We have found our Top 8 with Jones being the 9 getting scab minutes

[Quaoarsking]

The announcer called West Georgia a "non-D1" which is not correct. They are in the Atlantic Sun Conference:

[Coach34]

Great cut by Kugel and good pass by Hubb

[DawgFromOxford]

Chol with some playtime and some points

[Coach34]

22-17 at the second TO

[PGHBulldogBG]

Good first 10 minutes but going to be a battle. UNLV got good shooters

[RockyDog]

We have found our Top 8 with Jones being the 9 getting scab minutes

Jones will come out of nowhere and win us a game somewhere on the schedule. But he just can’t be a starter. And right now Murphy, Melendez and Kugel are just better

[HoopsDawg]

Don't love playing 11 guys but so far, it hasn't killed us.

[Coach34]

Murph playing the 4 so far tonight

[LC Dawg]

Outrebounding them 13-4.

[Coach34]

29-19 at the 8 minute TO

[KOdawg1]

We're kicking their ass on the glass and we've had good ball movement.

[Coach34]

yeah the ball movement is great tonight

[HoopsDawg]

Wow. Excellent team basketball

[RockyDog]

We good, boys!

[LC Dawg]

Sure feels good to have shooters.

[HoopsDawg]

Sure feels good to have shooters.

If you shoot well and don't turn it over, you're going to be tough to beat

[KOdawg1]

This team is just so deep.

Ke'shawn Murphy has developed into something special. He can do it all

[HoopsDawg]

Kugel is a much better passer than I realized

[KOdawg1]

This ball movement is insane. So beautiful to watch

[mparkerfd20]

It's early but we are playing team ball and look better than we did at any point last season.

[PGHBulldogBG]

The rebounding edge has determined this game so far. Got to keep it up in the 2nd half

[NCMSTFAN]

It's early but this team can be very special. Jans has put something together here and it's pretty obvious that he knows what he is doing. We are going to be hard for anyone to beat

[Coach34]

This team is Sweet 16 good. Questions are can we protect the rim in post D and do we get hurt defending big guards with our small ones

[NCMSTFAN]

This team is Sweet 16 good. Questions are can we protect the rim in post D and do we get hurt defending big guards with our small ones

Believe it or not Murphy hasn't been a bad rim protector so far. Obviously that is our weakness but we are so good in other areas so that hasn't been an issue.

[KOdawg1]

Need to get Claudell Harris some more 3 pt attempts

[HoopsDawg]

There are a few teams that are on another level: Kansas, AU, Tennessee, Gonzaga. I also really like Bama and a couple of others. But we are in that next tier.

UNLV is short handed so can't get carried away.

[KOdawg1]

Need to get Claudell Harris some more 3 pt attempts

Well we did and he's missed both shots so far

[HoopsDawg]

Need to get Claudell Harris some more 3 pt attempts

Well, we got him 4

[KOdawg1]

Well we did and he's missed both shots so far

Make it 4

[RockyDog]

Claudell gone frigid

[KOdawg1]

12-1 offensive rebounds. That's domination

[HoopsDawg]

Don't like this rotation but maybe it's bc we are playing b2b days.

[HoopsDawg]

This is probably the best passing team we've ever had.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hubbard looks ok, but to say that is worrisome is an understatement

[mparkerfd20]

Hope Hubbard isn't serious

[HoopsDawg]

Hubbard looks ok, but to say that is worrisome is an understatement

Ice the ankle and let him rest. Big game tomorrow night vs Butler.

[LC Dawg]

A little unnerving seeing Hubbard down. He seems ok but we probably won't see him again tonight to know for sure.

[LC Dawg]

I'd rather see Kugel get in a little earlier in the half. I wonder if Jans is playing the long game like others have mentioned and saving some legs for tomorrow.

[RockyDog]

Shane Power in da house!

[mparkerfd20]

Whoever said Chol couldn't help us is ignorant.

[Coach34]

Kugel has got to quit jacking 3's when not locked in on the basket. He is trying to be smooth looking people off and then pulling it from 3. Did the same thing vs SMU. Airball tonight. Lock in on the basket dumbass

[RockyDog]

I don’t think we have seen a more aggressive effort under Jans than tonight. We’ve played a little ugly offensively in the 2nd half but damn. UNLV is having trouble getting routine shots off.

[Coach34]

Whoever said Chol couldn't help us is ignorant.

He's fine against bad teams. We are up 24 for a reason. UNLV is missing 2 top players. They are not very good tonight. He looked lost vs SMU

[parabrave]

All I cans say is DAM. Keshawn Murphy is going to be one of the main reasons for success this year.

[basedog]

Can't really say any thing bad about blowing UNLV out! Pretty impressive overall with 6-0 start.
Great seeing everyone getting minutes. Fun team to watch, love the pressure defense!

[EdwardDrayton]

All I cans say is DAM. Keshawn Murphy is going to be one of the main reasons for success this year.

Interesting that Jans continues to bring him off the bench instead of starting him.

[EdwardDrayton]

He's fine against bad teams. We are up 24 for a reason. UNLV is missing 2 top players. They are not very good tonight. He looked lost vs SMU

Yeah, Chol played because UNLV was not good. We played fourteen players tonight for a reason; that hasn't happened since the first couple of games.

[parabrave]

Interesting that Jans continues to bring him off the bench instead of starting him.

Well some players are better coming off the bench than they are starting..

[EdwardDrayton]

Well some players are better coming off the bench than they are starting..

Yes but we don't know if that's true with KeShawn because Jans hasn't tried it.

[NCMSTFAN]

Whoever said Chol couldn't help us is ignorant.

I said before that there will be a few games Chol can be used ro help us and a couple posters told me I was crazy. Yes I know we were up big in this game and UNLV was missing players but Chol had a few early games last year where he helped us and I can see him doing that again this season at some point

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Yes but we don't know if that's true with KeShawn because Jans hasn't tried it.

We have played 6 games. Keyshawn has started 3 of those 6 games. So Jans has in fact tried it. Keyshawn is currently second in total minutes played (behind Josh Hubbard).

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I said before that there will be a few games Chol can be used ro help us and a couple posters told me I was crazy. Yes I know we were up big in this game and UNLV was missing players but Chol had a few early games last year where he helped us and I can see him doing that again this season at some point

There will be some games this year where we will need Chol. There will be some games where we will need 5 minutes of solid play by Chol due to foul trouble, matchups, etc. Let's hope he continues to develop and can help us.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Most minutes played this season in order
Hubbard
Murphy
Matthews
Harris
Kugel
Clary
Melendez
Jones
Nwoko
Chol

So Kugel and Murphy are getting starter minutes without actually starting.
