UNLV still stacking top-100 talent

When Dave Rice was installed as UNLV's newest head coach last spring, he spoke frequently about putting the running back in Runnin' Rebels. In its glory days under Jerry Tarkanian, UNLV was a high-tempo, run-and-gun team. Former coach Lon Kruger was successful at the school, but (as his Kruger's wont) achieved as much by slowing the Rebels down, preferring to focus his team on grinding half-court defense. By contrast, Rice wanted to show fans, longtime supporters and the rest of the UNLV "family" that the glory days weren't the end of exciting UNLV hoops -- that the Rebels could not only still compete for national titles but could, in keeping with the Vegas ethos, look good doing so.
