A Mountain West home opener brought the UNLV Lady Rebels back to campus for the first time since November 28th. And it returned in the same fashion it left, with a win. After ending a two-game losing streak in their last outing, UNLV opened its home conference slate with a, 89-71, win over New Mexico Saturday, Dec. 20. Earlier this week, the program opened Mountain West play with a one-point win over Grand Canyon. “Today, they just did it,” head coach Lindy La Rocque said. “T

The UNLV Lady Rebels have their second road win of the season after a rough start away from home. In the team’s conference opener, UNLV dumped Grand Canyon, 61-60, Wednesday, Dec. 17 in the Antelopes first Mountain West game in program history. Over the last four seasons, the Lady Rebels hold a 52-3 record over the rest of the Mountain West.

UNLV’s men’s basketball program suffered another massive letdown after picking up a potential resume-building win as this “roller coaster” of a season gets ready to speed up. As part of the Jack Jones Classic, the Runnin’ Rebels were beaten, 63-60, by the Tennessee State Tigers Saturday, Dec. 13 from Lee’s Family Forum. This year’s team is now 0-4 in neutral site games this season. “We could never pull away,” head coach Josh Pastner said. “We were up 29-20 in the first half,

The UNLV Lady Rebels are not short of early season tests though the team’s overall record may have paid the price because of it. In the program’s final non-conference game of the regular season, UNLV was thumped by Cincinnati, 65-48, Saturday, Dec. 13. The contest marked a meeting against a fifth team from a Power conference in 10 non-conference games this season for the Lady Rebels. Moreover, it was the team’s third outing opposite a Big 12 opponent. In those games, the team

UNLV missed 11 free throws but made at least one when it mattered most. In only the program’s second true road game of the season, the Rebels stayed perfect in hostile territory with a, 75-75, win over the Stanford Cardinal Sunday, Dec. 7. The contest marked just the fifth all-time meeting between the two West Coast programs. “This was a heck of a win,” head coach Josh Pastner said. “To win on the road – we’ve been battle-tested. Not everyone has played the schedule we’ve pla

A couple minutes of cold basketball was enough to end the win streak of the UNLV Lady Rebels. That previous three-game win streak is no more for the program following a, 75-70, loss on the road at Rice Saturday, Dec. 6. That marked a second straight game for UNLV in the state of Texas amidst this four-game road trip. Its most recent loss knocked the team to 1-3 on the road this season. Overall, head coach Lindy La Rocque’s group sports a 5-4 overall record with two more non-c

UNLV women’s basketball program finally can stop for ice cream after a road win this season. The team entered another hostile environment where the home team came in winners of 17 straight inside its home gym but UNLV whooped UTSA, 66-39, Wednesday, Dec. 3. That marked the program’s first road win of the season after starting the year 0-2 in such instances. “We talked all week about our team being road tough,” head coach Lindy La Rocque said. “I thought we did a great job com

Back in The Mack for the final time this regular season and the UNLV Lady Rebels made sure to make the most of it.

Head coach Lindy La Rocque is now 25-6 overall in The Mack with 24 wins in her last 26 tries.

Even a change of venue couldn’t shake UNLV men’s basketball out of its funk as its losing slide was extended Thursday afternoon as its tough week continues. On the last day of the Players Era Championship, UNLV sank in the second half against Rutgers and fell, 80-65, Thursday, Nov. 27 from the Michelob Ultra Arena. While going 0-3 in the tournament, the Rebels are now on a season-long three-game losing streak. “It was pretty much a tale of two halves,” head coach Josh Pastner

The second session of the Players Era Men’s Championship gave UNLV basketball another chance to capture a statement win but fell short, this time in more dire fashion. With a chance to pick up a ranked win for the first time since December 2023, UNLV lost to No. 8 Alabama, 115-76, Tuesday, Nov. 25 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The program went 0-2 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena over the past two days after having previously won four straight in the building. “We struggled

A late push and pullaway allowed UNLV women’s basketball to end a rare losing streak against a team that ended the program’s season not that long ago. UNLV ended a three-game losing streak including a 0-2 road trip with a, 76-67, win over Creighton Wednesday, Nov. 26 from the Thomas & Mack Center. That marked the longest losing streak for the program since losing four straight in 2020, a year before the arrival of head coach Lindy La Rocque. The Bluejays ended the Lady Rebels

UNLV men’s basketball won’t win three straight after a loss in the first game of its lone regular season tournament to fall to .500 at 3-3 on the year.

It’s the first game from the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the program since 2022 against Washington State and it had won its last four contests in the building. “Towards the e

After being at the top of the Mountain West for the better part of the last five years, a recent slide has the UNLV women’s basketball program living in some unwanted rarified air. UNLV lost a second straight road game as part of back-to-back away contests when it fell at Arizona State, 56-53, Saturday, Nov. 22. The program has now lost three consecutive road games dating back to last season when it went 8-5 away from home. Moreover, it’s the first three-game losing streak of

UNLV basketball has back-to-back wins for the first time under new head coach Josh Pastner. On the heels of a big win at Memphis, UNLV returned home with a, 99-85, win over Saint Joseph’s. Last season, the Hawks were an NIT team. “Good win for the Rebels,” head coach Josh Pastner said. “I’m just really proud of our guys in a few areas.” Thursday marked the second home win of the season in four tries for the Runnin’ Rebels. They will remain in the state and even in the city fo

A matchup between a pair of 30-win teams from a season ago provided another early-season storyline but resulted in a rare second consecutive loss for the UNLV women’s basketball program. Entering its first road game of the season after the program’s first loss, UNLV was beaten again this time by Montana State. The Bobcats, fresh off a 30-win season coupled with an NCAA Tournament berth, beat the Lady Rebels, 94-81, Tuesday, Nov. 18. Over the last two seasons, Montana State ha

UNLV men’s basketball wiped away a sour taste in its mouth that’s lasted since last season with its first potential resume-building win of the season The Runnin’ Rebels beat the Memphis Tigers, 92-78, on the road from FedEx Forum Sunday, Nov. 16 in the team’s first road game of the year following a 1-2 homestand to open the new campaign. Last season, UNLV was defeated by six points at the Thomas & Mack Center after leading with less than 10 minutes left in the second half. T

In a primetime showing on the national stage, the UNLV Lady Rebels fell just short of what would’ve been perhaps their biggest resume-building win. After falling to the Baylor Bears by seven points on the road last year, UNLV fell short, 62-54, this time at home from The Pavilion Friday, Nov. 14. “I thought frankly, we gave them a great game,” head coach Lindy La Rocque said. “Great game, I’m really proud of our team and our fight and the effort. Fourth quarter slipped away f

One win with head coach Josh Pastner at the helm couldn’t turn into two as UNLV reverted back to its bad habits from its season-opening loss in another head-scratching setback most recently. The Runnin’ Rebels lost to the Montana Grizzlies, 102-93, Tuesday, Nov. 11 from the Thomas & Mack Center. The outing comes just four days after the program scored 100 points against a Division-I school for the first time since 2017. In their two losses this season, UNLV has allowed 94 poi

UNLV overcame a power conference test in the program’s second showing of the second. The Lady Rebels finished off a home-and-home series with the DePaul Blue Demons that began last year Sunday, Nov. 9 with a, 85-78, win from The Pavilion. After beginning her coaching career 0-5 against Power Conference schools, head coach Lindy La Rocque now has four wins in her last 11 tries. “This is why you coach,” head coach Lindy La Rocque said. “This is why you play, to put yourselves i
