Improving as a season goes on is not something the Rebels have done of late. They last made the NCAA Tournament in 2013 and now welcome first-year coach T.J. Otzelberger.

Las Vegas completed a trade for the All-Star center from the Dallas Wings on Thursday that could alter the entire complexion of the WNBA’s elite.
Nothing separates playoff teams like the skill of goaltenders, and right now the Golden Knights hold a large advantage thanks to the play of Marc-Andre Fleury.
Utah State won its first league tournament title Saturday by defeating San Diego State 64-57 at the Thomas & Mack Center to clinch an automatic NCAA Tournament berth.
Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant tinkered with his lineup in key spots and smartly chose to sit a familiar face in another, the moves leading to a 5-1 victory over Nashville at T-Mobile Arena.
It hasn’t been the best of starts to a second season for Vegas, now 3-4 after beating Buffalo on Tuesday and yet missing key names all over the ice.
DENVER — There were under two minutes remaining in a football game the Raiders had led all Sunday, under two minutes until they could depart with a road victory over a division rival, and this was the scene along their defensive line:
The winning streak that reached four games for Las Vegas was snapped in sound fashion Sunday, when the Aces and rookie standout A’ja Wilson fell to Los Angeles 99-78 at Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Vegas is two wins from the Stanley Cup Final after defeating Winnipeg 4-2 on Wednesday night in the Western Conference Final before an announced gathering of 18,477 at T-Mobile Arena.
When it came time for head coach Gerard Gallant to decide between continuing with what Vegas offered in the first two games of its playoff series or inserting a now healthy David Perron back into the lineup, the choice didn’t fall in Tatar’s favor.
Ryan Carpenter is one of those players who has helped the Golden Knights not collapse among a string of injuries and illness, a guy who when needed most allowed a positive journey to remain on track.
