Who cares if we weren't supposed to win the game. We should at least be able to take decent shots, stop turning the ball over and look like we are better than Occidental...done with this...

UNLV is a good basketball team, no mistaking that...but this effort and display of lack of fundamentals is both laughable and disgusting. Please keep them away from Aloha Stadium on Thursday for fear of infecting our other sports teams with whatever they've come down with.

Appears that we simply do not have the athletes to compete. It is all about recruiting and it is obvious our recruiting is not good enough. I'm not sure the best coach in the world could appreciably improve this team. I'm not letting Doh off the hook, but he still has not assembled the athletes needed to compete at a high level.

I blame this and every loss since 1988 on Larry Johnson.

Announcer just said, "SMU left their game on the beach." Wow. What a slam.
