This year's March Madness Bracket Battles have no love for Las Vegas or their beloved Nevada Wolfpack

Have you ever wondered what happens to NCAA College Basketball teams who don't have any potential opponents wanting to play them?

Yep, that's the dilemma the Nevada Wolfpack are in the past few years. NOBODY wants to play them, imagine that. No NCAA College Basketball team is willing to make that trip to Las Vegas and play the Nevada Wolfpack.

How come? Do these guys have a problem or something earning butt-loads of cash with slot machines and roulette tables in Nevada? Are these guys just plain scared of the Nevada Wolfpack?

Um... NO. The only problem here is, the Wolfpack has never really been that of a media darling, therefore, ESPN don't cover their games and as a result, there's no media exposure playing the Wolfpack.

Oh yeah, perhaps the only reason we're looking for here is, playing the Nevada Wolfpack won't be profitable.

Nevada Wolfpack head coach Mark Fox said that he couldn't even get a pair of Big East conference teams to bite on a game in their own arena, with no return trip to Reno.

''Scheduling has been an absolute nightmare for us,'' coach Fox said in an interview in his office two weeks ago. ''It's been, by far, the hardest thing we've done. Harder than recruiting, harder than anything. We haven't been the media darlings, we don't have ESPN calling us for marquee match-ups.''

THAT means, even if they have a near-perfect home record, it won't matter to the people handing out invites to the March Madness bracket battles because of the caliber of teams the Wolfpack can only afford to play.

The Nevada Athletics Director Cary Groth said that she'll likely be making a few lobbying calls on behalf of the Wolfpack, who are 26-2 but are still listed in some projections as low as a No.6 seed in this year's March Madness bracket.

The Wolfpack was a No.5 last year, but that was aided by a victory over Kansas. The Pack lack a defining out-of-conference win this year because of the very problem I was stressing here. (For all ya'll not paying attention...)
