Phew, we're still in the game.

Saturday's game against Wyoming was a big one. Well, they're all going to be big games from here on out, so we'll just take one day at a time. (Yes, I said "we" like I have some insight with the team. Psh. I wish.)

-The game started off kind of shaky, we couldn't find our offense. The shots were being taken, they just weren't falling into the net. Of course, it didn't help that Terry had a groin injury and Darg was recovering from the flu.

-Wink! After having a few slower than usual games, he's baaack! What was his first shot, you ask? Why, a 3! of course. And a few after that? More 3!s. Double Double! Yes! Oh, and instead of taking an open shot, he passed it to a teammate, who layed it in, and got fouled, making it a 3 point play. Go Wink!

-Shaw...wow. He stepped up big time for this one. The announcer said he got a new tattoo a week or so ago, I'm assuming it's a lucky tattoo. Whether it be a few 3!s, jumpers, foul shots, or blocks, he was there, and he was doing the damn' thing!

-As we headed into the second half, Terry, Bailey, and Darg had yet to score. It wasn't all that reassuring, especially since we've come to rely on these guys for a lot of the baskets. A few minutes into the second though, Bailey made a basket, Darg hit a 3!, and then Terry hit a 3!. No worries, the boys are back.

-R-Geau was on his game, especially offense. I was kind of worried when he got fouled a few minutes into the game because of the BYU game fiasco, but that was needless worrying on my part. And how do you top off good offensive playing? A slam dunk, of course.

-Mo. His first shot? A 3!. Enough said.



--On a side note, I went to a Findlay-Prep game on Friday, and saw both Brice and Clarence Trent play. Things are looking good (like ridiculously so) with both of them. So we need to put the pressure on Trent coming to UNLV. I counted 11 people in the stands wearing Rebel red, which is quite a few in a crowd that didn't top 50. Regardless, the next few years of Rebel basketball are going to be one hell of a ride. --


So we defeated the Cowboys, and now we're gunning for the Aztecs, who according to my Source, beat BYU last night. It's a home game, so I expect to see the Mack filled. I mean really, what else is there to do on a Tuesday night? Yeah, exactly. Get there. Go Rebels!
