Patrick McCaw and Jalen Poyser each scored 15 points to lead UNLV, but the Falcons made the plays down the stretch to beat the Rebels 79-74 at Clune Arena.

In battle of pride and toughness, UNLV takes hard fall

UNLV lost a basketball game to Air Force on Tuesday night by a final score of 79-74. The problem: For much of it, the Rebels played as if it was 100-64 all over again.

5 takeaways from the UNLV-Air Force game

Five takeaways from UNLV’s 100-64 victory over Air Force’s basketball team on Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center:

Wheatley, Lady Rebels hold on to edge Air Force

Nikki Wheatley had 17 points and eight rebounds to help UNLV hold on for a 60-56 win over Air Force in a Mountain West women’s basketball game Saturday in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Pitino to UNLV speculation just wild enough to believe

The lead had climbed to 21 with about seven minutes remaining in the first half against Southern Utah, I mean South Dakota, I mean Air Force, I mean one of the worst Air Force sides in recent memory, and the energy in the Thomas & Mack Center on Saturday night continued to rise as it has few times this UNLV basketball season.

Don’t laugh: Pitino still interested in Rebels

It might be fantasy, but now is the time for that. This is the beginning stage of a search for the next UNLV basketball coach, a search expected to extend at least two more months, and the right answer when it ends could be Rick Pitino.

A week ago, senior guard Jerome Seagears said, UNLV hit “rock bottom.” A three-game losing streak and a coaching change put the team at its lowest point.

Rebels pay big for softness on boards

I suppose the best thing that could have happened for UNLV’s basketball team Wednesday night would have been for no one to discover those AAA batteries and duct tape needed to fix the shot clocks at Thomas & Mack Center because when you spend nearly $50 million on renovations, it must be tough making sure all the lights work.
