SDSU vs UNLV Publicity

7. Creighton and UNLV were both upset on the road last weekend. Creighton lost at Northern Iowa and UNLV fell at Wyoming. Still, both teams will be involved in mammoth, must-see games Saturday. Creighton and Wichita State, which are 11-2 and tied for first in the Missouri Valley Conference standings, play in Omaha, Neb. UNLV hosts San Diego State. The Aztecs have a one-game lead over UNLV in the Mountain West race.

“Anthony Marshall said he doesn’t look ahead on the schedule. When everybody’s asking him about the big game, he’s just focused on the next one. But this week is a little different. “It just so happens that that next game is that one game that everybody’s been talking about,” Marshall said. No. 14 UNLV hosts No. 13 San Diego State on Saturday at 1 p.m. The respective student sections have been going after each other on Twitter for several days. Tickets are all but gone. This is the marquee game of the Mountain West season and both teams are in the middle of a week without a game leading up to it. The Aztecs defeated TCU 83-73 at home last Saturday while the Rebels fell 68-66 at Wyoming. That game has left the Rebels with a bad taste in their mouths. Unlike many expected, though, it hasn’t left them much farther down in the rankings.UNLV entered the game on the cusp of the top 10 at No. 11 and fell only three spots to No. 14. Many fans were bracing for much worse.“I think it speaks to our body of work and the fact that we’ve got a lot of good wins, that we’ve built up equity in terms of that so I think it’s a positive,” UNLV coach Dave Rice said. “It sends a strong message for where our program is”

Wow. Just wow. A rivalry win for the ages, a Wednesday night to remind us we don’t need March Madness to have epic college hoops games, and a subtle reminder that there are more of these games to come this weekend: No. 6 Baylor at No. 4 Mizzou, No. 11 Michigan State at No. 3 Ohio State, No. 13 San Diego State at No. 14 UNLV.
