UNLV’s basketball team is suddenly defending again, which was good enough to beat rival UNR 68-62 on Saturday night.
UNLV
There seemed to be a disconnect between Marcus Arroyo and several boosters, local high school football coaches, some members of the town’s media corps and maybe even his boss.
Derrick Jones, a kid from Chester, Pennsylvania, who played his college ball for UNLV, stood at his Miami Heat locker on Tuesday night and spoke about the death of Kobe Bryant.
Review-Journal columnist Ed Graney takes a close look at the career, on and off the field, of the former Bishop Gorman, CSN and UNLV coach, who died Sunday evening at age 54.
Numbers rarely lie and those of the junior quarterback Armani Rogers suggest bowl eligibility for the Rebels in 2019 will be directly linked to whether or not he has grown into a more accurate passer.
New UNLV basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger arrived by helicopter Thursday and then said all the right things in a manner befitting a person understanding of the unrealistic expectations he inherited.
It was over at halftime Wednesday, a 101-75 victory by the No. 21 ranked Wolf Pack, over enough for many of the announced gathering of 13,997 at Thomas Mack Center to head home before the final 20 minutes commenced.
UNLV president Len Jessup is searching for a new athletic director, and it will be the most important hire he makes during his time at the university.
Before the Colorado State game, UNLV coach Tony Sanchez was like a prize fighter ready for battle, which made this all the more perplexing: His team never left its corner at the first bell.
Progress can be defined countless ways, and this includes how many reacted across social media to the Rebels falling as a two-touchdown favorite at home to a team destined for the Football Championship Subdivision level.
Chris Beard’s head coaching stops include time at community colleges in Seminole State and Fort Scott, a level that demands coaches travel to places far and wide and often unknown to discover players.
On the January evening Dave Rice was fired just three games into the Mountain West schedule, as unprecedented a move as you will find in college basketball, he looked UNLV’s seniors in the eyes and promised they would see him again.
I have never been one of those anti-bowl game guys. Never been one to care much about how many postseason college football affairs are played. But when the Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl kicks off today in Tucson, the perception of Mountain West football will endure a devastating punch to the gut.
We have heard a lot about the D word when it comes to UNLV basketball this season, about how the Rebels have more depth than at any time under fifth-year coach Dave Rice. That’s because Oregon transfer Ben Carter is now eligible and freshman Stephen Zimmerman chose to stay home; size and talent in the front court haven’t been this extensive in some time. There are others, of course.
It has become a common theme around UNLV’s basketball team, this game-by-game analysis by others of Chris Wood. Of his production and attitude and effort and whether that eating motion he makes after sinking a 3-pointer is really necessary or, well, just another level of self-serving folly.
