UNLV men’s basketball assistant coach Lew Hill remained in a local hospital Wednesday and was undergoing tests for an undisclosed health complication.
Mark it down as two losses. That’s how big it could translate in the race for a Mountain West Conference regular-season title. That’s how much UNLV needed to finish a job it couldn’t against San Diego State on Tuesday night.
It certainly wasn’t pretty. But it might well have been a prelude to next month’s Mountain West Conference Tournament.
Don’t expect Tre’Von Willis to dole out 11 assists again tonight.
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — For three UNLV seniors, the collection is complete.
Senior center Shamela Hampton became the 18th UNLV women’s basketball player to score 1,000 points, leading the Lady Rebels to a 78-64 victory over Air Force on Saturday at Cox Pavilion.
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Not since 2002 has UNLV won a basketball game at Air Force’s tiny Clune Arena.
UNLV’s basketball players get to experience twice a season what their football counterparts go through — a week to prepare for an opponent.
Without complaining, UNLV senior Joe Darger, a natural small forward, went right back to playing center against Utah on Saturday. It didn’t surprise anyone in the Rebels’ locker room.

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.
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.
