MARCH MADNESS HAS BEGUN!

My prediction from about month and half ago!

Rebels get screwed again in the rankings you win 2 road conference games and lose votes in the polls. Especially in the coaches poll, how the hell does that happen. I'm done talking about these ranking its never going to matter.Rebels need to be 8-2 in the next ten games to be in the tourney as an at large. This is manageable because they can lose one at home to BYU or UNM and probably on the road at SDSU. We will probably win the first game in the tourney play Utah or UNM and its not going to matter. I say we are 7 seed. Hopefully Utah or SDSU wins the tourney sending four teams to the big dance.

BYU, UNM, UNLV as solid locks. If SDSU can rebound and get better, they finish 4 or five win the tourney they will be the fourth. Utah maybe a little young still.

MID SEASON RESUME 16-4 over all, 4-2 conference Key Losses: Kansas State #13 ,USC (on probation), BYU #10Bad Losses: Utah (at home)

PREDICTIONS: 24-6 over all 12-4 in conference maybe ranked #23I would like a 6 seed in the tourney and win that game putting us in the second round against a team we can beat at a 3 seed or maybe an upset for a 14 seed. We could win that game giving us a shot at a 2 seed and maybe an upset. Its all hypothetical from here we just want to be in the dance no higher than 8 or 9 seed. If were higher we are going to upset some teams.


Soooooooooo... I was pretty close. Also told everyone I know MWC will get four teams in. Right now as it stands everything looks to be on track. Rebels were one game off of where i predicted. They should have never gotten swept by Utah. We get them for a third time in the first round of the Conference tournament. If you think we are going to lose please stop reading. This team has the tournament riding on this game. If they lose there out. They win they are in. This is the team that will make or break the Rebels tournament hopes. They cant beat them its going to be over.

Rebels have a great shot and running this conference tournament. I would like to see UNM get upset and Steve Alford not win another conference tournament game. I would like to see BYU and there wussy point guard go down again by UNLV. Jimmer Ferdette should never be considered for player of the year. A player of the year leads his team no matter the circumstances. He did play because he was sick against UNM in a close game for the conference title. Bobby Hurley had the runs in 1991 and Michael Jordan scored 65 will dehydrated . You had a stomach and cost your team.

Darington Hobson would be my player of the year vote. Tre Willis is very close behind. Hobson has a little more talent around him. I think UNM has great shot at making it far in the tourney and we will see how good they are. If they get a two seed they could see a Louisville in the second round. That would be tough. I see UNLV getting a a five seed if they win the conference tournament and if they make second round or finals six or seven seed.

It all shakes down this week in Vegas. Ill be there wouldn't miss this for the world. UNLV has a great shot at continuing there success in the tournament. They must beat UTAH first.

Get it done Rebs!
