Midway through his junior year, guard Tre’Von Willis has matured into UNLV’s team leader and most reliable scorer. All he talks about, though, is doing what’s necessary to be a winner.

Spotting up on the wing late in Monday’s practice, UNLV guard Kendall Wallace launched a 3-point shot.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — It was target practice for Kendall Wallace, and each shot he fired came with a silencer.
Coach Kathy Olivier was smiling after her UNLV women’s basketball team nearly upset New Mexico on Saturday.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Emotional hangovers are inevitable during a long basketball season, so UNLV coach Lon Kruger acknowledged his team might be dealing with one.
PROVO, Utah — On this side of the court, it is just the first of 16 conference games, just one defeat to an opponent that loses at home about as often as Tre’Von Willis thinks pass first, dribble second.
PROVO, Utah — For a long stretch of tough road, Tre’Von Willis and UNLV were in complete control. … And then came the crash, a sudden breakdown caused by empty possessions and various errors that turned the Mountain West Conference opener into another disappointment for the Rebels. … Willis scored a game-high 24 points but could not be the closer as Brigham Young staged a late rally to defeat UNLV 77-73 in an intense back-and-forth battle Wednesday night at the Marriott Center.
After trailing Brigham Young by 12 points early in the second half, a hungry Lady Rebels squad pulled within two three times down the stretch.
PROVO, Utah — It was apparent early in his career that Brigham Young guard Jimmer Fredette was a future star. His game, similar to his unique first name, made an impression.
Listen closely. You can hear it. It has happened each time UNLV’s basketball team lost a game the last few years.
A steep climb awaits UNLV at the outset of the Mountain West Conference schedule. But instead of dreading the road trip, junior guard Tre’Von Willis is packing up and getting excited.
Knee surgery has sidelined the leader of UNLV’s basketball team. It’s no cause for panic, though, because coach Lon Kruger said he’ll be fine in a few days.
The UNLV women’s basketball team surrendered most of a 21-point second-half lead before holding on for a 60-58 victory over Northern Arizona on Tuesday night at Cox Pavilion.
HONOLULU — Muscling his way to the basket whenever he wanted, and stepping outside to drop a 3-pointer early in the game, Marcus Johnson helped Southern California overpower and punch out UNLV.
HONOLULU — It’s normal to circle this date on the calendar. It’s Christmas, after all. But that’s not why UNLV sophomore Chace Stanback eyeballed it several months ago.
