Review-Journal reporter Andy Yamashita had a busy 2023, from covering the Aces’ championship to the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Here are his top stories of the year.
Basketball
UNLV sports will resume as scheduled after a shooting on campus, including Saturday’s men’s basketball game against Loyola Marymount at the Dollar Loan Center.
The Mountain West is a possible option to take in the four remaining Pac-12 schools, “but this is pretty doggone fluid right now,” former UNLV AD Jim Livengood said.
UNLV and other Group of Five schools are not among the Big 12’s preferred list. Instead, the conference is focused on Arizona, while monitoring Utah, Arizona State and even Oregon and Washington.
Coach Lindy La Rocque announced UNLV received national letters of intent from forwards McKinna Brackens and Meadow Rolan, and point guard Amarachi Kimpson.
