UNLV
If a player misses the opening act of UNLV basketball practice today, it won’t be for lack of motivation. Although it’s early August, and the games that count still are three months away, coach Dave Rice is certain he has a team eager to get going.
Findlay Prep senior Anthony Bennett trimmed the list of colleges he is considering to UNLV, Kentucky and Oregon, Pilots assistant coach Todd Simon confirmed Friday.
Dave Rice sat in the Superdome on Monday evening and saw firsthand what today’s elite means in college basketball. Saw the bodies. Saw the disruption. Saw the length.
Eleventh-ranked UNLV had two chances to tie the game in the final seconds, but came up short on both in a 68-66 loss to Wyoming in Laramie, Wyo.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — If a stop, a steal or simply some intense pressure on the perimeter is needed, junior guard Justin Hawkins usually gets the call as UNLV’s designated defender.
The Rebels fell to 8-1 today by losing to the Shockers in Kansas. UNLV next plays Cal State San Marcos at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Orleans Arena.
