I don't have all that much to say here. Those who know me know some of my earliest sports memories involve growing up watching UNLV basketball and many know I still can't stand Duke to this day because of the 1991 Final Four upset of the then undefeated UNLV team. Even though I went to Auburn, UNLV is still the team I root for in basketball (maybe it was that we have been, are, and will continue to be terrible in basketball because of institutional indifference) and I hope they can return to where they once were even though I know it is unlikely.
For all the UNLV fans out there, check out these two articles over at si.com, one about the prospects for this years team and one about the 1990 and 91 teams that won the national title and then went undefeated until the Final Four.
You can find the preview for this year here and the look back here.
