Memo to the person who keeps official stats for UNLV basketball games: Tre’Von Willis wants to have a little chat.
UNLV
It happened a few days later than he hoped, but UNLV freshman DeShawn Mitchell made his college debut Tuesday night. He made it count, too.
The bowl scenarios are so numerous, UNLV football coach Mike Sanford can’t wrap his mind around them.
At least one person is unimpressed that Oscar Bellfield is UNLV’s starting point guard as a freshman.
On an off day for his players, UNLV basketball coach Lon Kruger reported to work as usual Sunday. He was not exhausted after a sleepless night spent worrying about his team.
It will come Saturday evening at San Diego State, the most significant football game UNLV will have played in eight years. But regardless if the Rebels win or lose against the lowly Aztecs, whether they become bowl eligible or finish two games under .500, Mike Sanford’s future as head coach should be even more solidified come Sunday morning.
It’s not often the better coaching job in a UNLV basketball game takes place opposite the Rebels bench.
When opposing coaches brag about a UNLV senior, the subject of praise most often will be Wink Adams.
If he believed in psychics, Lon Kruger could pay a visit to one and get a reading on his basketball team’s future. That is unnecessary, though, because the UNLV coach already knows what to expect.
Kathy Olivier’s UCLA basketball teams didn’t rely on the 3-point shot, and she said her UNLV squads won’t, either.
A sense of sadness surrounded him. From a courtside seat, and through his disbelieving, droopy eyes, Jerry Tarkanian could see everything was fading away, even the memories.
