You know, I was actually looking at tomorrow hoops and saw this and I'm like ... sure, I'll take two TDs and the hook whilst I do homework late at night in a holiday week when watching Cheers re-runs at midnight. When will I get midnight hoops again? It's not a true home game for UNLV but in Vegas. Alabama probably Flat Central after losing last night to Gonzaga. Seems a bit generous to me and now I have a reason to stay up other than to see if Sam and Diane make it (hint: they don't). One of the Tide's best defenders, Latrell "don't call me Sprewell" Wrightsell is not in Vegas due to injury.

Last night, UNLV did some good thingst against Maryland, as Buzz Williams praised the constantly-changing defensive looks that Josh Pastner deployed, as the Rebs forced 20 Terp turnovers and were in the game until the last minute of a 74-67 loss at the MGM Grand Garden. Pastner might be able to do some of the same to Bama, which has been playing racehorse basketball vs. the likes of St John's, Purdue, Illinois, and Gonzaga in the past two weeks. If Pastner can jam the gear box just enough, UNLV has enough offense to get inside of this number, especially x-Illinois G Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn (16.3 ppg) now kicking on as the Rebs play a few blocks from home. Play UNLV (at MGM Grand Garden, Las Vegas)
