Fans also seemed pleased with the team's initial effort, as they took to social media to give their opinions on the debut. https://twitter.com/Rampa19/status/1191943326615920640 https://twitter.com/Narfnampil/status/1192030650791972864 Even the players were feeling confident...even if a little too confident. https://twitter.com/Bischoff_Tyler/status/1191946454769774592 All jokes aside, the vitality is truly growing as the high-energy system of Otzelberger continues to take hold. The man seems tireless and comes across as a can of Four Loko downed with a Red Bull chaser. Redshirt transfer, former (now current) Oztelverger player, and one of the best shooters in the nation, David Jenkins, is even showing his enthusiasm as well as a faith in a coach he knows better than anyone here in Vegas. https://twitter.com/WorldStarDave/status/1192269034021982209 https://twitter.com/TheRunninRebels/status/1192258754604978176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1192269034021982209&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmockery.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D135919%26action%3Dedit%26classic-editor With the 1 p.m Saturday start against Kansas State, the Rebels hope to bring in a larger crowd than the "paid attendance" of 7,728 — although it felt like no more than 3,000. The game's timing might be simply too early for the fan base to truly buy in but the season opener did all it could to at least send an invite to the skeptical fans watchfully waiting as the Rebels attempt to earn back their trust."I was pleased with how our guys came out prepared for this game. We established in that first half who we can be defensively when we pressure the basketball, when we really guard and contest the 3-point line, and we do a great job on the glass. We had a couple of spectacular performances and was just an overall good team win."
