Who is Craig Maass?

Briefly was a two sport athlete in both basketball and golf at VU but played all four years on the basketball team.

Does Keith not have professional basketball aspirations?

I was wondering the same thing. I definitely think he had the ability to go pro in Europe while he was at VU. Is it a health issue? I really think taking away his 4th year hurt him more then most people thought because that would have been a great showcase year. Hopefully he's doing well.

I remember a former coach posting this last November.

Nevada's budget has to be huge for a mid-major. They've been making new hires left and right this offseason. They just hired former Valpo assistant Rex Walters. He was last working in the NBA.

Outstanding... the Morning host on the #1 morning show in Reno is John Potter, VU '78.  He's been there for like 20 years.  All the more reason to head to the Tahoe area.

Prediction or reality?

Neither. It was a joke  born out of the faint connection between the two programs. I doubt it will actually happen but it at least gives us a theoretical shot. Doesn't hurt to ask. Given the struggle to get games at our level and our recent performance there's at least a semi-decent chance they would say yes. It'd be a great series that benefits both programs I think.

I was joking. I have no inside information. I apologize if you took that literally.

So not only does Nevada overrecruit its roster they also recruit too many coaches apparently. As for their budget it's that FBS money. Must be nice.

Definitely helps to have FBS money, but their administration really doubled down on the MBB program the last few years and have it a University priority. They are getting a push from the top.

Being on Nevada's (or Xavier's) recruiting list is about as exclusive as being in a "Who's Who Among..." Book.

I saw a few days ago that Nevada has already sold out their season tickets for the upcoming season.

So much for across the board attendance decline in college basketball.

It appears that Alec Peters' team won its first game of the Gloria Cup. Alec led both teams in scoring (19) and rebounding (8).
