In the program’s first game of the calendar year the Rebels beat the Air Force Falcons, 67-39, Saturday, Jan. 3 from the Thomas & Mack Center. That brings the end to a perfect three-game homestand to improve to 5-2 at home this season. UNLV’s three game-win streak is the team’s longest of the year. “I know it wasn’t an easy week being out with the flu bug,” head

UNLV men’s basketball has its Mountain West opener before the calendar flips to the fresh month of January for the third time in the last five years.

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,

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

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

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. In the second year of the Players Era Men’s Championship UNLV opened play with a, 74-67, loss to Maryland Monday, Nov. 24 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena. 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

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
