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 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, […]

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 […]

Nevada athletics is having a good week. The softball team is on a rampage, the basketball program is getting some exposure without even doing anything and former star Nick Fazekas is proving that addition by subtraction really is possible.
Oh, and baseball is back at Peccole (despite a 6-0 loss to UC Irvine) and we’ve got […]

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 […]

I have no idea how Kevin Hart thought his lie wouldn’t blow up.
For you sports fans who haven’t been following sports news this week, Hart, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound guard out of Fernley High School, held a big to-do of a press conference last week where he committed to play Division-I football with a cliche […]
