When it seemed UNLV was hitting rock bottom, sophomore guard Oscar Bellfield was full of hope.
UNLV Basketball
It’s correct to refer to David Carter as UNR’s first-year coach. His record reflects one win in as many games, so much of what he’s doing is for the first time.
Oscar Bellfield scored a career-high 22 points and freshman guard Justin Hawkins sparked a 23-4 second-half run to carry UNLV to an 88-75 comeback victory over UNR at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Some freshmen expect a lot of playing time right away. Justin Hawkins came to UNLV hoping for some minutes and willing to work to earn more.
School is out on Sunday, but that didn’t stop Nebraska from teaching UNLV a lesson in the Lady Rebels’ home opener.
As the shots started falling for Tre’Von Willis and Kendall Wallace, a UNLV basketball team running low on self-esteem got an uplifting performance Saturday night.
Several unknowns surround coach Lon Kruger as he begins his sixth season on the UNLV bench. He has a sense of what to expect and what he hopes to see, but there are few guarantees.
An idea weighed heavily on his mind for weeks, so UNLV freshman Carlos Lopez set out recently to survey some of those closest to him.
Instead of sugarcoating UNLV’s sour exhibition performance Tuesday night, sophomore guard Oscar Bellfield was quick to be a critic.
Jerry Tarkanian remembers Utah, how that NCAA Tournament regional semifinal in 1977 came down to a block-charge call that could have gone either way.
Warren Rosegreen was known largely for his leaping ability when he played for the Rebels in the mid-1990s.
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.
All the stories from Jerry Tarkanian flow as if there is no end. His memories are not faded.
