After two tumultuous seasons, Stan Stolte has the Rebels at 19-3 and ranked 19th nationally as UNLV welcomes San Diego State for a weekend series.
It’s hard to figure any of the other 15 teams still breathing can match UNR for its unity and resolve, amazing when you consider the Wolf Pack offer a starting lineup of five transfers.

The three winningest college basketball programs in the last five seasons are Villanova, Gonzaga and Wichita State, all of which have made financial commitments to be elite.
The team has more holes than Donut Mania, meaning head coach Jon Gruden and general manager Reggie McKenzie will look to land some immediate skill.
The made-for-television saga that was Chris Beard departing for Lubbock, Texas, didn’t do much for the immediate state of UNLV basketball, but it allowed Texas Tech to move swiftly forward among the better programs nationally.
The Rebels deserved to lose after blowing leads at the end of regulation and in overtime in falling to Colorado State at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Some barely passing grades define the team’s AFC wild-card loss in Cincinnati.
For all their flaws thus far this season, the Chiefs are still 5-4 and just one-half game out of the AFC West lead.
