UNLV
PROVO, Utah — A hostile atmosphere awaits UNLV tonight. The Rebels’ rivalry with Brigham Young has turned bitter — especially between the fans — in recent years, so the players are bracing for a rude reception.
If the loss at Texas Christian and the debacle at Colorado State proved anything, it’s that the separation from upper to lower tier in Mountain West Conference basketball isn’t as obvious this season.

Adams took out his frustrations on Saturday night, helping the Rebels make a turn in the right direction.
UNLV entered Saturday’s game with its coach fuming about recent defensive efforts and knowing it had to face a player who doesn’t have bad nights against the Rebels.
LARAMIE, Wyo. — The UNLV women’s basketball team squandered an 11-point second-half lead, then rallied in the final minutes to beat Wyoming 71-64 on Saturday.
