UNLV
To guarantee a bowl appearance this season, UNLV needs to help itself and receive help from others.
Before Wink Adams was recruited to UNLV, he was a student of the basketball program’s history. He knew all about the great players and teams of the past, and it was his dream to be a part of it.
After leaving UNLV in 1991, Anderson Hunt played basketball in France, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Venezuela.
In a lot of ways, UNLV basketball coach Lon Kruger walked away pleased after Saturday’s closed-door scrimmage against Arizona State.
Many times during UNLV’s five-game losing streak, the Rebels failed to make a key offensive play here or get a crucial defensive stop there.
UNLV’s defense hasn’t stopped a running game in nearly two months. It should get plenty of chances to do just that against New Mexico’s Rodney Ferguson tonight.
UNLV 27, New Mexico 20 — Deante Purvis blocked a punt and Rodelin Anthony picked it up at the 11-yard line and ran it in for a touchdown to help the Rebels open up a 10-point lead early in the fourth quarter as they went on to victory.
