Air Force coach Dave Pilipovich sat at a table at Mountain West media day on Wednesday wearing a blue golf shirt with the Falcons’ logo while sitting under that school’s banner.
It was the day for Pilipovich to talk about his program and what he expects, but he didn’t hesitate when asked what he thought about conference rival UNLV.
“It’s going to take some time,” Pilipovich said during the event at The Renaissance hotel. “They’ve got to be patient. The fans here have to be patient.”
Patience and UNLV basketball don’t get used in the same sentence often, but one advantage for Marvin Menzies is he doesn’t enter his first season as the Rebels’ coach facing high outside expectations.
