It's been a stressful week: classes starting, paying for books, the Rebels trailing the Cowboys by 10. Wait, what?! I don't think anyone was expecting that last part.
So, a recap. Wyoming scores, and then they score some more. And oh, wait, they score again. Our boys manage to catch up, and then Wyoming goes and scores again with those threes that this Ewing character kept putting down (or is it up?). We were down by 8 at the half, and I don't think anyone in the stadium, Rebel fans and Cowboys alike, expected that. Thank goodness after the half, Darg and Wink both get 3!s, and things get going, finally in our favor. It was close a few times (tied, I think), but we managed a win. As we should have, I'd have to say Wyoming isn't very good, it seemed like half of the time they couldn't hold onto the ball. So it's a good thing we won, that would have been a horribly embarrassing loss. As for Wink, man oh man. A career-high of 33 points. Wiiiiiink! Rene deserves major credit as well, it's not everyday a UNLV player gets a double-double.
How young is too young to start recruiting Rebels? I think a few of those kids who played at half-time have some potential. And I'm voting it as the Cutest Half-Time Show Ever. Awwww!
Another reason why I love the Rebels? Coach Kruger (or Daddy Krug or Lonny). Coach K simply has class, and after watching the Wyoming coach stomp his feet like a spoiled diva, I'm even more impressed by him. Keep it up, Coach. (And tell Kevin I said "Hey"...)
(And thank you to Brian for helping me with the counter thing, even though I'm pretty sure you're the only one who reads this anyway!)

Wink and CT seem to rotate good offensive games....while Rougeau continues to have solid contributions. This is one of those games i hope to forget...saturday is huge...GO REBS!
those kids were amazing!
i pride myself on knowing basketball. i've been involved in it on some level for the last 14 years, and at one time considered taking the route towards coaching.
those kids were impressive. i was nearly speechless.
the kid with the corn rows had amazing footwork, which is rare in high school and the pros, much less in the post-toddler ages.
the dribbling white kid had one of the best crossovers i've seen. i didn't cross anyone over until i was 15. he also had two steve nash-like assists.
and then, little number 23 with the glasses. slicing and dicing and fade-away three-pointing his way to a hell of a half-time performance.
don't take it lightly when i say those kids were talented. kudos, young 'uns, kudos.
