The UNLV men’s basketball team plane has returned and is in good condition.
That was the word from coach Marvin Menzies on Monday.
“We have it back for this weekend, so we’re in good shape,” he said. “That was a first in my career.”
UNLV had to bus back to Las Vegas after its 94-77 loss at San Diego State on Saturday. Menzies said after the game that someone running from authorities broke into the plane Friday and apparently flooded the engines.
The Rebels next road trip is Saturday at Utah State.
