Final preparations
With their week in Las Vegas winding down, the Warriors went through their final preparations for Saturday’s game against UNLV with a light walkthrough at Sam Boyd Stadium.
The team will check out of the Suncoast Hotel, their staging area for the week, prior to the game and head back to Honolulu right after the game.
“Even though there’s casinos downstairs there’s really no distractions,” defensive lineman Vaughn Meatoga said of the team’s stay. “It’s brought us close, especially as friends off the field. We get to know other people and it transfers onto the field the more trust we have in each other.”
>> Tua Mahaley joined the team in Las Vegas to fill Paipai Falemalu’s special teams duties. Falemalu won’t play tomorrow due to a sprained ankle.
>> A crowd of between 30,000 and 32,000 is expected for the game.
