SALT LAKE CITY — One giant step at a time, 7-foot-2-inch senior Luke Nevill is leading Utah closer to the Mountain West Conference title.
UNLV Basketball
SALT LAKE CITY — UNLV senior Joe Darger admits to no regrets as he reflects on his college career, with the end drawing near. That’s easy for him to say now. But about five years ago, as a high school junior in Riverton, Utah, he faced a tough choice.
Kicking back is not on Utah coach Jim Boylen’s agenda, even if he is enjoying the view from the top of the Mountain West Conference.
As he has done so many times, UNLV senior Wink Adams hit a hot shooting streak just in time to burn Brigham Young.
If it were a movie, it would have more twisted endings than “Planet of the Apes” and “Perfect Stranger” combined. It would be even crazier than when you discovered Dr. Malcolm Crowe was dead all along in “Sixth Sense.”
The UNLV women’s basketball team rallied from an 18-point deficit but came up short in the final seconds of a 53-52 loss to Brigham Young on Saturday at Provo, Utah.
Lee Cummard long ago reached that unique level as an athlete, the one where he is not above creating artificial motivation when there is a shortage of the real stuff.
Not one to be easily confused, UNLV coach Lon Kruger is trying to make sense of a basketball team best described as perplexing.
The UNLV women’s basketball team scored just 17 points in the second half, losing to Wyoming 50-44 Wednesday night in a Mountain West Conference game at Cox Pavilion.
LARAMIE, Wyo. — After absorbing all of Brandon Ewing’s best shots, UNLV walked away with a black eye that might still be hurting in the middle of March.
LARAMIE, Wyo. — A shooting slump, an injury and streaks of inconsistency have shadowed UNLV’s Wink Adams through his senior season.
A buzz spread through the small gym as Victor Rudd played with the basketball as if it was a yo-yo. Echoes bounced off the walls while he put on a big-time show.
The list was impeccably prepared, because it seems as if Brad Stirling doesn’t do anything in a lackluster manner when it comes to UNLV basketball. The names were neatly written down the side of one page, all those Rebels players from the 1960s.
In the reserve role he has learned to like and play well, senior guard Mareceo Rutledge provided the jump-start UNLV needed Saturday night.
The UNLV women’s basketball team shot 25.9 percent from the floor, and Colorado State made two second-half runs to coast to an 85-55 victory Saturday in a Mountain West Conference game in Fort Collins, Colo.
