DraftKings: Bet Dayton to beat Nevada in NCAA Tournament
Benjamin Zweiman writes: “These are two very high-powered offenses in Dayton and Nevada. But Dayton is one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the country and we know how important that is in the tournament setting. So we’ll ride with the Flyers.”
Action Network: Take the under in Nevada vs. Dayton basketball game
Jim Root writes: “The concern here is Nevada’s compact defensive shell against Dayton’s 3-point shooting. Steve Alford’s defense ranks 299th nationally in 3-point rate allowed, and Dayton ranks third in 3-point percentage. Alford’s scouting report should emphasize running foes off the line, but that’s outside the typical stylistic footprint. Still, between the likely half-court pace and the size of Nevada, I expect a lower-scoring game.”

RFK Jr. meets signature requirements to appear on Nevada ballot
Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign submitted the required number of valid signatures in order to appear on Nevada’s ballot in November, the secretary of state’s office confirmed Friday.
Kennedy’s campaign in Nevada submitted more than 22,000 valid signatures to county clerks in early July in order to qualify as an independent presidential candidate.
In a notice sent Friday, the secretary of state’s office said that based on the examination conducted by county election officials, the office determined that the total number of signatures exceeds the number of valid signatures necessary to declare the petition for candidacy necessary.
The Kennedy campaign must next submit the names of the six primary and six alternate electors that would certify the election for Kennedy if he were to win.

Planning phase underway for College of Southern Nevada's northwest campus
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The development of the College of Southern Nevada’s Northwest campus has taken another step forward after the state allocated $4.5 million for the planning phase, said CSN’s Vice President of Academic Affairs James McCoy.
He showed me the plans that they’ve come up with so far, which includes photos from similar campuses in other parts of the country.
“The blue would be a 60,000 square foot law enforcement academy coupled with some general education and student support services to support those students and others throughout the northwest,” he told me as he pointed to the tentative plans. “It would include the parking as we talk about the land development. You need that. It will include the central plant to operate the campus and the building.”
They’re still deciding on whether an emergency vehicle operations course will be included in phase one.
The reason he calls them potential plans is because the project is based on funding by the state legislature.
“Our goal is to be 100% construction documents in hand by the time the legislative session is wrapping up, so June of 2025,” he said.
Then come the inspections and everything else needed before construction can begin.
As for the cost of the actual construction, it’s yet to be determined.
“Still a work in progress,” said McCoy. “We’ll know much more as the state public works prepares for the presentations of all the capital projects for the entire state. That is slated for Aug.28 and 29.”
By the time it’s all said and done, the first phase has to be shovel ready by June 2026, or else they risk losing the land.
