Mountain West Conference '08


First game tonight for UNLV was with TCU. I wish I was at the game. In the last 3.4 seconds, Wink Adams (gotta love Wink) hit a game saving three pointer.

They are saying that BYU has a higher percentage rate of winning the conference this year. I think that UNLV is hungry to prove that they can hold the tile without all of their seniors from last year.

Here is the Mountain West Conference official website.

Who is going to the UNLV vs Utah game Friday night? I'm a little nervous. These two teams met up last week Saturday and it was a close game. Even though UNLV won! :) Which means that Utah is going to want it bad.

In other basketball news...Coach Lon Kruger has been named the MWC coach of the year aaaand the USBWA (United States Basketball Writers Association) coach of the year.


And Wink Adams (pictured at the top) Also, after being named a first-team All-MWC selection, Runnin' Rebel guard Wink Adams was named to the USBWA All-District VIII team. Which why wouldn't he...look at some of his stats:

  • Leads the Runnin' Rebels in scoring this season with 15.9 ppg, which ranks fourth in the MWC
  • Leads the conference in free-throw shooting percentage (85.4 percent)
  • Is in the top 10 in the conference in field-goal percentage, assists, steals, 3-pointers made and minutes played
