As a UMHoopster in NYC, I got very excited until I realized what post this was on and that there wasn’t an upcoming game in my backyard. Why in the world is a casino in Vegas called the NY, NY one?

Lol, was about to say the same.

We’re at the Bellagio and haven’t really talked if we’re going to the 1st game or not. I’m sure 2nd half at least.

Definitely will be up for something

Hopefully um gets a good turnout but this could pretty much be two road games with unlv and Arizona who has a great fan base and typically takes over Vegas.

Arizona took over Crisler Center so they are 100% going to be the primary fanbase at the game. Gotta imagine we outdraw UNLV though

You think we outdraw UNLV in Las Vegas?

Tickets are for both games in a session so I don’t think one fan base will have an overwhelming amount to the point of it feeling like a road game. That’s dividing tickets by 4 teams and tickets are not close to sold out

I don’t fly in until late Friday for the fight so I’ll probably only attend the Sunday game.

UNLV hasn’t made a tournament since 2013 and they’re a west-coast team in a mid-major conference. I would be shocked if they’re drawing a ton of fans to games.

EDIT:
Their home opener was basically an empty stadium: UNLV Basketball Top 5 Plays vs Gardner Webb - YouTube

Also where will my fellow Wolverines be watching the football game on Saturday?

That’s a good question and would like to know a good spot to watch the football game as well.

It’s way way over the top, but Circa has an amazing Sportsbook.

Plus Juwan and/or the Howard family are hosting an invitation-only event Saturday afternoon at the Legacy Room at Circa.
