In a season plagued with bad news for the Runnin' Rebels so far, new academic records set during the fall 2020 semester have given the team something to cheer for.

Tuesday afternoon, a Twitter post from the Men's basketball team at UNLV revealed that head coach T.J. Otzelberger had tested positive for COVID-19.

Runnin' Rebels fans will need to wait once again to see their team back out on the court.

Just three days removed from their first victory of the season, a positive test within the Runnin Rebels team has forced a cancellation of their game against the Eastern Washington Eagles.

The post-Thanksgiving hangover was real for the Rebels on Friday.

The UNLV Runnin’ Rebels were unable to bounce back from a lackluster first half as they fell to the Montana St University Bobcats, 91-78.

UNLV has yet to face a cancelation this season due to COVID, their opponents for this Saturday already have had a game be postponed and now once again the Colorado State Rams will fall victim to a COVID scare as the Rebels will take precaution.

Despite some positive play from some new faces, the Rebels remain winless after falling to the unbeaten Spartans on the road.

Wait, so we can lose and still be ranked one? Not exactly. . .
