En route to the biennial UNLV Athletic Apparel Sale on Saturday morning, I couldn’t help but notice the giant billboard blocking out the sun in the manner of a solar eclipse.
Running back Adonis Smith already had picked up his share of yards, and all he needed was to punch it in during a goal line drill following the main portion of UNLV’s spring game.
My immediate reaction Friday: It’s a loss. It could prove to be a big one. There is a reason those who interviewed at UNLV for the head coaching position in basketball more than two years ago listed Justin Hutson as the assistant they would pursue hardest when forming a staff.
For the second time in two years, Justin Hutson is switching sides in the San Diego State-UNLV basketball rivalry.
Spring football games often are more for the fans than the players, and that’s especially true with UNLV today.
The Mountain West released its 2013 football schedules on Thursday.
UNLV forward Carlos Lopez-Sosa confirmed he will return for his senior season. A fourth-year junior from Findlay Prep, he is on schedule to graduate this summer and had options of transferring or turning professional.
The last time UNLV faced a ranked team from the Pac-12 Conference, the Rebels went to then-No. 9 Stanford about a month ago and swept the series.
UNLV junior Amanda Oliveto was named the Mountain West’s softball pitcher of the week, the second time she’s been honored this season.
Jerry Tarkanian’s long basketball journey is finally complete.
When he reached the stage, supported along the ballroom path to such an exclusive group by a walker, Jerry Tarkanian was helped up a few stairs to basketball immortality.
The UNLV men’s golf team shot 7-under 277 on Sunday to edge top-ranked California and win the ASU Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe, Ariz. UNLV finished at 9-under 843, one stroke ahead of Cal in the 18-team, three-round event.
UNLV scored three runs in the eighth inning and three in the ninth, then held on to defeat host Fresno State 9-8 on Saturday in a Mountain West baseball game.
Finally, Jerry Tarkanian has made it. After more than 20 years of trying, Tarkanian, who led UNLV to the 1990 national championship and four Final Fours, has been voted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of its Class of 2013.
