Once again the MWC final is being shown on Versus(?) at 2:00 (MST) instead of "the mtn". My cable co does not carry Versus :(

The WAC final featuring NMSU vs. Fresno State in on CSTV (which I also don't have) at 1:00 MST.

On another MWC note: UNLV fired HC Regina Miller in a tersely worded statement (http://unlvrebels.cstv.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/031408aab.html). Regina took a team that had only won 12 games in 3 seasons to a team that posted 8 straight winning seasons...they have struggled as of late.

From Yahoo (http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaw/news?slug=txunlvmiller&prov=st&type=lgns)
The school issued a brief announcement that Miller is no longer serving as coach of the team “as of 5 p.m. Friday.”

In the statement, director of athletics Mike Hamrick called it is a personnel matter and said the university can make no further comment at this time.

Chatter on the Loboland board with UNLV posters are suggesting that the AD has been trying to undermine Miller.

Some of the players support the decision and others don't

Three women's players said they think the program needs new leadership.

"I totally support Mike Hamrick's decision and that of the administration, and I look forward to a new start," junior Shannon Oberg said. "I just feel we have so much talent on this team, and we need to bring somebody in and change around the program and make the (NCAA) Tournament and make something happen."

Sophomore Latoya Hunt said, "We had a rough season, and I think change is for the best."

Junior Brittany Halberg agreed.

"I support Mike Hamrick's decision 100 percent," Halberg said. "Obviously, it's a change. That's always nerve-racking. We don't know who our next coach is going to be."

Not all UNLV players wanted the change, however.

She never gave up on us," junior Shamela Hampton said. "She never quit on us."

Said senior Sequoia Holmes: "I've really grown playing in this program and understand her tutelage. I just think that she has shown that basketball relates to life, and, personally, life is more important than basketball."


Under Miller UNLV has ofter lived up to the Runnin Rebels moniker - they're known for their pressure D.
