Father, son to meet in
NIT first-round matchup
LAS VEGAS (AP) When UNLV
and Arizona State meet tomorrow in the
first round of the National Invitation
Tournament at the Thomas & Mack
Center, father and son will be trying to
beat each other.
Lon Kruger, UNLV head coach, will
be squaring off against his son, Sun
Devils sophomore
point guard Kevin.
Kruger.
And Barb Kruger,
wife and mother, will
be in the stands, her
stomach in ln►ots.
"It's an ironic
thing," she told the
Las Vegas Review
Journal on Monday
"Kevin called me
[Sunday] and said,
`Mom, guess who we're playing in the
NIT?' and I immediately knew it was
the Rebels. The good thing is I get to
see both of them at the same time."
Proper
Barb Kruger doesn't plan to cheer for
one team at the other's expense.
"It's fun to watch both teams," she
said. "I'll be cheering for both of them.
They need to have good games so they
can feel good about each other."
