UNLV
Something had to change, and UNLV sophomore Tre’Von Willis was quick to make it happen.
The competitive games were late at night, sometimes not until 1 or 2 a.m., when the older guys showed. The older, bigger, stronger, more athletic guys.
Handling success, particularly on the road, is a critical element in the development of a young team.
The UNLV women’s basketball team struggled with shooting and turnovers, leading to a 67-50 loss to Utah on Saturday in a Mountain West Conference game in Salt Lake City.
Five high school linemen are visiting UNLV this weekend as signing day nears.
You can’t be Wink Adams and second-guess a 3-pointer or jab step to the baseline or pull-up jumper going to your left. Confidence to a basketball player like Adams is radar to a pilot. Its importance is immeasurable.
Sitting down on the job is a foreign concept to Utah coach Jim Boylen, who runs the court during a game with more intensity than some players.
Same as any basketball season, this one has brought UNLV coach Lon Kruger bouts with frustration and moments of satisfaction.
