Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday
I will admit their program has been better over the past few years. Keep in mind though, Krueger left a hell of a foundation. He had good players and is one of the best coaches out there. As to last year, it was early, our team was trying to put a bunch of new guys together and hadn't even begun to gel yet. By mid Fed. last year ISU would have wiped the floor with UNLV. No way UNLV could have beat us later in the year. This year the Mountain West has two good teams, maybe we can stretch and say 3. There is just simply no comparison to the grind in the Big 12.
Some of you guys are petulant little *******. It's embarrassing. UNLV has been to the tourney 6 of the last 7 years. They have been 5 and 6 seeds the last two years and whipped us straight up last year. ISU is not a significantly better program. Hopefully it will be in the near future.
