Typical sports jargon argues that the cream always rises to the top. This year’s UNLV Runnin’ Rebels’ play against the top of the conference may be the visual representation of that. UNLV completed the sweep of first-place Utah State Tuesday, March 3 from the Thomas & Mack Center, 92-65. Earlier this season, the Rebels beat the Aggies by 10 points up in Logan, Utah. “Great team win,” head coach Josh Pastner said. “Twenty-one assists, 34 made field goals. I thought defensively

After posting a sub-.500 record in the month of January, UNLV men’s basketball’s February isn’t off to a good start either. Having already lost three consecutive games by 10-plus points or more, the Runnin’ Rebels were stunned at the buzzer, 98-96, Tuesday, Feb. 3 by the Fresno State Bulldogs from the Save Mart Center. The wild finish means the two programs will split both its regular season meetings. “I’m sure we’ll come out and do better next game,” junior guard Dra Gibbs-L

From the fresh highs of an undefeated conference road trip to the backpedaling 0-2 homestand for UNLV men’s basketball. Make it two straight losses for the Runnin’ Rebels after their second three-game win streak of the season for the program. It was blown out, 89-61, by the New Mexico Lobos Tuesday, Jan. 27 from the Thomas & Mack Center. That brought the end to a winless two-game homestand for the club that began with an 11-point loss to the San Diego State Aztecs. “We got ou

For the second time this season, UNLV’s three-game win streak has been halted in screeching fashion. Coming off a 2-0 road trip including a big win over Utah State, the Runnin’ Rebels dropped a home contest to the San Diego State Aztecs, 82-72, Saturday, Jan. 24 from the Thomas & Mack Center. The matchup was contested in front of the most fans garnered on the UNLV campus this season. “They hit big late clock shots,” head coach Josh Pastner said. “In key times, just in real ke

Members of the UNLV men’s basketball program were confident this most recent two-game road trip would look different from its last winless journey. Halfway through this road trip, it already does. Coming off an overtime win at home against the Boise State Broncos, the Runnin’ Rebels made it two straight with a, 76-62, win over the San Jose State Spartans Saturday, Jan. 17 from the Provident Credit Union Event Center. “It’s more than basketball here,” senior guard Howie Flemin

UNLV men’s basketball will leave its most recent road trip winless but the team’s offense or lack thereof continues to be the storyline more than the outcome of any particular game. In only the program’s third true road game in the last month-plus, the Runnin’ Rebels were bested by the Colorado State Rams, 70-62, Friday, Jan. 9 from Moby Arena. That confirms UNLV will leave its two-game road trip without a victory. “I got on a couple of guys,” head coach Josh Pastner said. “I

Nearly two months into the season and UNLV men’s basketball finally has its first sustained win streak of the year. 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.

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

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 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.

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

Pastner’s Runnin’ Rebels took down the Chattanooga Mocs, 101-69, Saturday, Nov. 8 from the Thomas & Mack Center. Chattanooga won the NIT championship last season. “Really proud of our young men on a bounce back,” head coach Josh Pastner said. “I thought we got better from Tuesday to today. That’s what we’ve got to do every time we step on the floor is get better.” It was a
