UNLV’s Runnin' Rebels play their home games at the

Thomas and Mack Center

, which is located only a few minutes off the Las Vegas Strip and a stone’s throw from McCarren Airport. Even if your Las Vegas vacation isn’t scheduled during March Madness, you can still take in some high-caliber Division I basketball during the regular season. Like the rest of the city, college basketball in Las Vegas has a long and colorful history. Jerry Tarkanian’s years as head coach were full of vigor and controversy. While not as iconic, head coach T.J. Otzelberger leads today's Rebels with dedication and spirit. The players do not disappoint. Whether you're a long-time fan or a tourist, you'll love watching the Rebs face off against rivals like the San Diego Aztecs and New Mexico Lobos in a high-energy atmosphere. You can grab your UNLV Rebels basketball tickets at StubHub.

'Who are the Runnin' Rebels' biggest competitors in the Mountain West Conference?'

'When facing their interstate/conference rival the University of Nevada Reno, Rebal fans participate in a Red Out to fill the entire Thomas and Mack Center with UNLV colors. The Governor's Series game against UNR has a big turnout. Attendees win prizes and the tailgate is a well-known good time. While the UNR rivalry is something college memories are made of, other challengers in the Mountain West include the Air Force Falcons, San Diego State Aztecs and the top-ranked Utah State Aggies and New Mexico Lobos.'

'Who is UNLV's head coach?'

'UNLV's Runnin' Rebels men's basketball team is coached by T.J. Otzelberger. Otzelberger gained the position in the spring of 2019, and he soon filled out his support staff with a team of experienced assistants. Otzerlberger's new assistant coaches have backgrounds in Power 5 institutions as well as the NBA. Assistant coaches Tim Buckley, Kevin Kruger and DeMarlo Slocum are focused on player development.'

'What are the Rebs' biggest strengths?'

'The Rebs play a fast-moving game, so expect to see a higher-than-average number of three-pointers. Players like Mbacke Diong have a strong presence and are expected to alley-oop the team to a tournament game with the help of Amauri Hardy. The team communicates and works well together, which makes for an entertaining game even if it ends in a loss.'

'Has UNLV ever won a national title?'

'While under the helm of legend Jerry Tarkanian, the Rebels appeared four times in the NCAA Tournament's Final Four. After falling short in 1977 and 1987, Tarkanian finally put together a championship team in 1990. That year, the Rebels defeated Duke 103-73 in the national title game. The Rebels were so good that they followed their championship year with an undefeated regular season in 1990-1991. UNLV made it to the Final Four again and were expected to repeat as national champions. However, the Rebels lost to Duke in a rematch of the previous year's title matchup. UNLV finished the year with a 34-1 record.'

'Who are the strongest players on the UNLV Rebels' basketball team?'

'Familiar Runnin' Rebs like Amauri Hardy and Mbacke Diong are expected to post high scores. When it comes to steals and assists, Jonah Antonio is worth watching. The 2019-2020 team has some new players, and it is uncertain who will become a stand-out. A new roster is all the more reason to watch live games. Audiences are able to get a good idea of upcoming players and gain a sense of where the Rebs are heading in the next few years.'
