UCLA — ranked second nationally but not the country’s second-best team right now — had no problem whipping the Rebels 73-51.
Desiree Reed-Francois will introduce the person she has chosen to lead UNLV basketball, T.J. Otzelberger, Thursday, ending a search that began almost two weeks ago when the athletic director fired Marvin Menzies after his third season.
UNLV’s basketball team continues its seven-game homestand to open the season Wednesday night against Valparaiso, when senior Shakur Juiston will take his usual place in the starting lineup and once again pursue rebounds like a cat might a feather on a bobbing string.
UNLV dropped its fifth straight Saturday, this a 50-37 decision to San Jose State, after which a majority of the announced gathering of 16,165 were able to cheer victory for the first time in 2018.
