When you are in the first year leading a program and your team is this bad, the rebuilding process can’t begin until the present tense of inferior ability has been addressed.
Simply, the Mountain West needs UNLV and San Diego State to be good, and that’s not the case this season for teams that have the most conference wins since the league was founded in July 1999.
UNLV has never lost 17 games in a season. It’s one defeat from doing so. The collapse of its program is almost sad to watch, but knowing why it collapsed is even worse.
The fair point now is that you can’t change now. Or shouldn’t. Not those who understood from the beginning what this season would mean for UNLV basketball.
