feb 20, 2018

#nevada looks good to win the regular season, and should make the Dance but the MWC is , at best, a a two Dance tickets conference. Nevada #Mussbus stars: #calebmartin  19.6 ppg and #jordancarolina 17.0 ppg
Nevada 12-2   23-5
Boise St. 11-4  21-6

feb 22

Top #mwc three won last night. : Kendall Stephens (30 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST) led NEV  over SJST. Chandler Hutchison (27 PTS, 4 REB, 2 AST) led Boise St over Col. St.  Deshon Taylor (22 PTS, 5 REB, 1 AST) led #fresno over UNLV. Boise has two MWC games left while Nevada and Fresno each have three.
feb26 update-  #Mussbus won the MWC regular season title yesterday. #nevada deserves a Dance ticket regardless of  how they perform in the MWCT. #boise ain't getting much love from the pundits.
march 8 update. RD1 today UNLV/AFA CSU/UtahSt  SJST/Wyoming.  Unless someone upsets #nevada later  this week it's probably one dance ticket for the #MWC.
march 10 update: Wow, #DevinWatson scored 20 points to lead San Diego State to a 90-73 blowout over Nevada. They 'll fae #newmexico  who beat Utah St. Nevada should still get a Dance ticket
march 12 update: I'm not sure why but the #MWC is one the few  non-power conferences that didn't get royally screwed over by the Dance Committee. #nevada is a 7th seed  despite not winning its conference tourney  and plays texas in rd1 . #sdst is an eleven seed and faces houston in rd 1 .
march 17 update: #mussbus needed OT to roll by Texas  on their way to a game with Cincy. K Stephens scored 22 and Caleb Martin had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Wolfpack.. J McDaniels had eighteeen points as SDST hung tough but fell to Houston.
March 18: #Mussbus screwed up my bracket with big comeback win over Cincy. Cody Martin
