Positives
+ UNLV put up 90 points, hard to lose when you score 90!
+ Offensive production was evenly spread throughout lineup
+ Three point buckets early and often in this game
+ 55% shooting, 41% 3-point shooting
+ large turn-out even though lackluster opponent (15,000 +)
+ Senior night

Negatives
- sloppy or lazy ball handling / passing leading to turnovers
- limited minutes for Carlos Lopez
- Massamba not proving he deserves Lopez's minutes
- living and dying by the 3 point shot, luckily in our favor
- lack of interior offense
- lack of fast breaks, team much more comfortable in the half-court offense
- Wyoming given too many second chance points on offensive rebounding
- allowed Wyoming to put up 77 points on our home floor
