The Rebel Room

Never can get enough UNLV analysis and chatter? Then this is the stop for you. Each Thursday, join the Sun sports staff in The Rebel Room for your fix.

More offseason UNLV hoops tid-bits ...: Wed, Jun 3, 2009 (12:48 a.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob Miech get you up to speed on all the recent developments in the world of UNLV hoops, including takes on Quintrell Thomas's commitment, the potential addition of Noel Johnson into the fold and the future of the Mountain West Conference tournament in Las Vegas.

The offseason ... so far: Mon, May 4, 2009 (10:19 p.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob Miech sit down after a brief hiatus to discuss all that has happened in the world of Rebels hoops since the end of a disappointing season. Among the topics are the passing of 'Gondo', another defection and some potential newcomers. Plus, is being labeled 'Transfer U.' such a bad thing?

UK POSTGAME: And that's that ...: Wed, Mar 18, 2009 (10:29 p.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob Miech take a closer look at a performance in the first round of the NIT typical of UNLV's second half of the season -- close at the end, but not enough to get over the hump. The guys discuss what made for a historic, unique and insane atmosphere at Memorial Coliseum, what the Rebels learned from the season and its finale, plus some other tidbits from the final trip until next fall.

SDSU POSTGAME: Nothing unexpected ...: Fri, Mar 13, 2009 (12:40 a.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob Miech discuss UNLV's 71-57 loss to San Diego State in the opening round of the Mountain West Tournament, which more than likely punched the Rebels' dance ticket ... for the NIT. The guys discuss the lingering problems which could not be cured heading into the MWC tourney, and just how long fans can expect to see the Rebels hang around in whichever tournament they go to.

SDSU POSTGAME: See you again on Thursday: Sun, Mar 8, 2009 (3:53 a.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob Miech hit the way-back button, discussing UNLV's 57-46 loss to Miech's alma mater -- San Diego State. The guy talk about a trip down Rob's memory lane, then just what went wrong with the Rebels on Saturday night in Cox Arena. Plus, is it too late for the Rebels to right the ship? We'll find out on Thursday, when the two see each other again to start the MWC Tournament.

AIR FORCE POSTGAME: What do you remember about the early 1960s?: Thu, Mar 5, 2009 (2:39 a.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob 'Once again The Python' Miech discuss UNLV's sluggish, ugly 46-43 victory over Air Force on Senior Night, which, believe it or not, earned a spot in the record books. Wink Adams capped his home career with a layup with 25 seconds to go which put the Rebels up by four and iced UNLV's 21st victory of the season.

UTAH POSTGAME: Sloppy from the start: Thu, Feb 26, 2009 (2:15 a.m.); Ryan Greene, Rob Miech and Ron Kantowski discuss UNLV's mess of a 70-60 loss at Utah on Wednesday night at the Huntsman Center.

BYU POSTGAME: Bench/crowd gets it going: Sun, Feb 22, 2009 (3:01 a.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob 'The Wise Owl' Miech discuss UNLV's slim 75-74 victory over BYU on Saturday night at the Mack, fueled by the super-sub efforts of Kendall Wallace and Mo Rutledge, plus the Rebels' largest home crowd since 1993. Also, an unfriendly welcome for Mrs. Cummard and where the up-and-down Rebels go from here.

WYOMING POSTGAME: Rebels get 'Stanky Legged': Thu, Feb 19, 2009 (3:26 a.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob 'Wise Owl' Miech discuss the Rebels' 77-68 setback on Wednesday night in Laramie. The Cowboys' effort was sparked by the combination of a sluggish start from the Rebs, plus a memorable performance by the dance-happy Brandon Ewing. Plus, the guys take a look at Saturday's home contest with BYU.

CSU POSTGAME: Not quite like last time: Sun, Feb 15, 2009 (1:31 a.m.); Ryan Greene and Rob 'The Ostrich' Miech discuss UNLV's neat and tidy 89-70 revenge-fueled victory on Saturday night over Colorado State.
