The UNLV women’s basketball team won again Saturday, going on the road and beating Colorado State 83-78 to improve to 2-0 in Mountain West play and 12-1 on the season.

That’s on the heels of a 31-3 season that included an undefeated run in league play last year for the Lady Rebels.

We’ve written a great deal about the story of coach Lindy La Rocque, but it needs to be repeated over and over.

She has done an absolutely amazing job with her hometown program and should be a celebrity in this town.

It’s difficult to overstate the wonders she has done at UNLV.
