Final exams required most of UNLV sophomore Oscar Bellfield’s attention this week. When his mind shifts to basketball, all of his thoughts revolve around Kansas State.
Remembering the high times at UNLV is much easier for Larry Johnson now. He turned 40 in March, and the passing of the years has put a hint of gray in his beard and any hard feelings in the past.
With offseason workouts and three weeks of basketball practice in the rearview mirror, UNLV junior Tre’Von Willis is looking forward to playing in a game. And he knows he’s not the only one.
Shamela Hampton and Brittany Halberg came to UNLV in 2005, joining a program that was used to winning.
Optimism surrounded UNLV and senior guard Wink Adams in October, when a promising season seemed to await.
UNLV senior Rene Rougeau has one regret, and it was an act that might have made the difference between winning and losing. Because of it, he vows to “stop whining” to officials.
UNLV is turning back the clock one year and going to a four-guard lineup, hoping the shake-up will help turn the Rebels in the right direction. UNLV (17-6, 5-4 Mountain West Conference) will attempt to stop its third two-game losing streak of the season when it hosts Texas Christian (13-10, 4-5) at 7 p.m. today at the Thomas & Mack Center.
FORT WORTH, Texas — Every time he returns to his home state, Wink Adams makes sure UNLV takes care of business.
