Whenever UNLV fires a basketball coach or a football coach, two things pop into mind when it comes to speculation about their replacements.
UNLV
The story behind why Derrick Jones Jr. wears No. 1 can be found on Page 43 of your trusty UNLV basketball media guide. It’s simple reasoning, not some profound wisdom that has a long and intense and complex story behind it.
When it came to winning time, Patrick McCaw made all the big plays at both ends for the Rebels.
Patrick McCaw scored 17 points, eight rebounds and seven steals to lift UNLV to a 73-62 victory over UC Riverside on Saturday at SRC Arena.
The Rebels are favored by 5 points when they take the court at UC Riverside today.
The UNLV Rebels return to the basketball court Saturday afternoon in California to face the UC Riverside Highlanders. Here’s everything you need to know if you want to watch the game.
Aqeel Quinn scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half as No. 2 seed San Diego State rallied to defeat seventh-seeded UNLV 67-64 in a Mountain West tournament quarterfinal at the Thomas & Mack Center.
The Rebels are 6-point underdogs when they face San Diego State in a Mountain West Tournament quarterfinal game at the Thomas & Mack tonight.
On the night of Jerry Tarkanian’s death, there was only one place in Las Vegas to truly honor the man who put UNLV on the college basketball map: Piero’s.
UNLV freshman guard Rashad Vaughn, the team’s leading scorer, suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee during Tuesday night’s 73-61 win over Fresno State. He might return for the Mountain West tournament in March.
In almost every way, Jerry Tarkanian was the godfather of UNLV basketball. From afar, he will be remembered as a legendary coach. To the players closest to him, he meant far more.
UNLV freshman Dwayne Morgan has found it tough to find a groove on the basketball court, but he finally can feel things starting to click. UNLV coach Dave Rice hopes Morgan can emerge as a consistent third scorer behind Rashad Vaughn and Chris Wood.
After two months of practices and seven games, UNLV freshman Rashad Vaughn has seen and heard enough. The time for using youth to explain away losses has passed.
Senior point guard Cody Doolin, who transferred to UNLV from the University of San Francisco, got a competition waiver from the NCAA but still needs approval of his transfer residency waiver so he can play basketball for the Rebels this season.
Demetris Morant, who played sparingly as a redshirt freshman, is transferring from UNLV to a college in Florida to be close to his ill father.
