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 […]

San Jose State just ruined my night.
The Spartans just took down Utah State in a performance that would have made Gerard Butler proud, and now I’m not sure what to do.
I was going to write a blog about the Nevada men’s basketball team being buried behind three teams and explore how the Wolf Pack could […]

The Wolf Pack was as dominant in wins against San Jose State, Hawaii, and Utah State as last year’s team ever was.
The reason - the Wolf Pack dished out 24 assists in all three games.
No team in the league can […]

So I’ve been absent for a while. My bad.
My hometown isn’t exactly Mac compatible, so I didn’t spend much time on the Net while I was home over break, and I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to plow through my honors thesis, AKA The Big Freaking Paper.
That’s not much of an excuse for […]

The Nevada men’s basketball team earned its best win of the season on Saturday by beating Northern Iowa 55-52 in Cedar Falls. The Wolf Pack had been horrible on the road this seasons, but dominated a Panthers team that will compete for the Missouri Valley Conference championship.
JaVale McGee was dominant in the post with 12 […]

Senior guard Marcelus Kemp and sophomore guard Brandon Fields are out for tomorrow’s scrimmage against Seattle Pacific.
No specific reason was given today when the information was released, but Nevada coach Mark Fox said Tuesday that there would be a couple players suspended against Seattle Pacific for missing class.
Fox is doing right by punishing his players, […]

Nevada forward Tyrone Hanson has been dismissed from the basketball team.
Hanson was apparently beaten and robbed at the party on Saturday where three people were shot and killed, but Nevada coach Mark Fox said the dismissal had nothing to do with the tragedy.
Hanson was held out of Saturday’s scrimmage for breaking an unspecified team rule, […]
