Draftexpress.com is reporting that Nevada sophomore center JaVale McGee is declaring for the NBA Draft and has hired an agent, ending his career at Nevada after two seasons.
This is a bit of surprise considering that McGee could have been a top five pick next season if he had improved during this offseason like he did […]

I never thought I’d say this, but I wish I were in Las Cruces.
Because of my thesis, however, I’m stuck in Reno this week, watching on TV.
Still, I guess I can’t complain being able to drink beer and watch the games in my sweatpants in the living room.
Of all the WAC co-champs, Nevada had the […]

Let’s take a moment away from the WAC Tournament banter to focus on some campus politics.
Elections are tomorrow, and Garrett “The Truth” Hylton officially endorses Eli Michael Reilly for president of the Associated Students of the University of Nevada and Gracie Geremia for senator of the College of Liberal Arts.
I’m probably not going to vote […]

The Western Athletic Conference handed out it’s awards yesterday, but who cares about all that legitimate basketball-related crap? Here are the awards that matter:
The All-NBA Prospect Team
Marcelus Kemp, Sr., G, Nevada
Jaycee Carroll, Sr., G, Utah State
JaVale McGee, So., F, Nevada
Herb Pope, Fr., F, New Mexico State
Justin Hawkins, Sr., F, New Mexico State
Analysis: While Carroll deservedly […]

The all-Western Athletic Conference teams are out, and two long streaks for the Nevada men’s basketball team are over.
Utah State guard Jaycee Carroll won WAC player of the year honors over Marcelus Kemp, ending the Wolf Pack’s four-year reign of player of the years, and Boise State coach Gregg Graham won coach of the year, […]

With the way the WAC regular season played out, you knew it had to end this way – with a four-team mess tied for the conference championship.
After Boise State choked away its chance at a solo title by losing at home to Utah State, the Broncos, Nevada and both Aggies will be hanging conference title […]

With San Jose State’s improvement this season, Fresno State coach Steve Cleveland has to be the Western Athletic Conference coach with smallest margin of error.
This is Cleveland’s third season leading the Bulldogs and, at 13-18, it’s hard to see any improvement.
Cleveland’s had a lot of talent to work with, too, which makes the Bulldogs lack […]

No player polarizes Nevada fans like JaVale McGee.
It seems like half the fans boo his poor footwork and overly-emotional reactions and half the fans applaud his highlight reel dunks and ridiculous blocks.
Well, the haters need to back off.
When considering McGee as a player, it’s important to remember how far he’s come.
McGee played barely 10 minutes […]

If you go by the numbers, the Nevada men’s basketball team clearly wants no part of Boise State during the Western Athletic Conference Tournament next week.
The Broncos, after all, have two double digit wins against the Wolf Pack.
Instead, logic suggests, the Wolf Pack would be better off facing host New Mexico State, a team it […]

I was sitting at a bar the other night, calmly sipping on a mojito…I mean a beer (don’t judge me), when a guy sat down next to me and asked me about the WAC Tournament seeding scenarios.
With several ties likely among the top four, and a possible four-way co-championship, when the regular season concludes this […]
