If you told any
#UNLVfb
fan in August that they would finish 9-5, host the conference championship game and play a BIG 12 team in a bowl game they would’ve called you crazy.
What Barry Odom and staff did in year 1 is amazing. The future is brighter than it ever has been.
#UNLVfb
received 4 votes in the Top 25 coaches poll!
Coach Odom has taken one of the worst historical programs in the nation and has them receiving votes after only 6 games!
#UNLVmbb
is going to play postseason basketball for the first time since 2013! The Rebels have been selected for the NIT!

A sign of progress for the program

Top 35 PG Dedan Thomas Jr has committed to UNLV!
He now becomes the 6th highest ranked recruit to commit to UNLV (in the 247 sports era).
Extremely huge get for Kevin Kruger and the biggest recruiting win for UNLV in years!
True PG and Vegas local staying home!

Story:
REBELS WIN 80-77
The Rebels walk into a sold out pit and beat
#25
New Mexico. A huge win, bigger than Creighton in my opinion.
Dedan Thomas Jr drops 25 and knocks down the 2 biggest free throws of his career.
WHAT A WIN FOR THIS SQUAD!
#UNLVmbb
OH MY GOD THEY DID IT.
UNLV FOOTBALL WENT ON THE ROAD AND CAME BACK DOWN 24-7 TO BEAT AIR FORCE
THEY ARE 9-2 AND HOST SAN JOSE STATE NEXT SATURDAY!
THEY CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY TO HOST THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Student Section is being extending to field level for the game!
Sell it out and get loud. This the the student sections chance to really impact the game and be closer than normal
UNLV got robbed on their home court.
Forget the 5 point play, the out of bounds call that was blatantly missed is absolutely horrible.
UNLV would’ve been up 6 with the ball with a minute thirty left. Instead Utah State hits a 3.
#UNLVfb
won 3 Mountain West Awards
Jose Pizano: Special Teams Player of the Year

Congrats to all of them!
Rebels win 84-77 @ Princeton!
Rebels advance to the 2nd round of the NIT. Whaley with a monster game!
Rebels will now face Boston College on either Saturday or Sunday
“Same ole Rebels” has been said a ton for UNLV football. UNLV has always snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Tonight showed this is not the UNLV football of the past. Old UNLV rolls out and gets blown out when down 17-0. Barry Odom and his team fought back and won!
#UNLVfb
has earned the opportunity to host the Mountain West Championship in year 1 under Barry Odom and staff!
What a special season but we still have unfinished business.
This staff and players ignored the history of this program and decided to create their own story.
Dedan Thomas Jr’s commitment makes him the 6th highest recruit to commit to
#UNLVmbb
(247 rankings).
Nice to see UNLV back to landing top national talent and especially keeping local talent home.
Dedan’s commitment will be extremely influential on the 2024 recruiting class
#UNLVmbb
has the talent this season, it is now on the fans and especially the students to show up.
The Mack has been a sad place since the Rice days. The

SDSU!
#UNLVmbb
finally get over the hump against their boogeyman. DJ with 2 game sealing free throws to ice it after a huge shot to give them the lead.
WHAT A GAME!!
HUGE WIN OVER
#22
COLORADO STATE!
Great 2nd half and Cottrell played some big minutes down the stretch. DJ and LuRod automatic at the line to clinch the game!
UNLV Football has proved a lot of doubters wrong this season.
One of their biggest doubters being… Vegas.
#UNLVfb
is 9-1 against the spread this season. Beating the spread by 11.75pts per game on average.
Thank you SMC fans for everything you guys were nothing short of amazing. This chapter in my life will always stick with me and truly be memorable love you all! ♥️

Congrats
@BearCherry35
@tobias_bass

I see
@UNLVRebellion
has posted their once a year tweet. They do a terrible job at turning out students.
@ErickHarper
you’ve done a great job with student engagement. Yet the people who run the student section don’t even try.
It’s time for new leadership within the Rebellion
Rebels win 79-70 in the 2nd round of the NIT against Boston College!
Another huge stepping stone win for the program and great win for the fan base. Rebels will now travel back to New Jersey to take on Seton Hall!
#UNLVmbb
#UNLVfb
signed 22 players today, 7 of them being from local high schools.
This staff has recognized the importance of keeping local talent home and has done a great job building relationships with local coaches and players.
Harper is a great AD. He’s done very well in fundraising, increased student engagement, made a tough decision last football season to move on from Arroyo and not accept mediocrity. Then made his first football hire (which determines AD’s success) and hit a home run
Kalib Boone has committed to UNLV per his Instagram page.
Will join his brother Keylan. Will be a force in the paint for UNLV
Congrats
@kalibboone32

Taj is a local star at Durango HS in Vegas and would be a key piece for the 2024 recruiting class!
Taj has a tight relationship Dedan Thomas Jr as well as UNLV’s other 2024 target Pharaoh Compton
#UNLVmbb
UNLV would be 3-1 and 2nd place in the conference if they didn’t get robbed against Utah State.
It’s alright though, let’s keep winning and putting the Mountain West on notice.
The Rebels 3 best players tonight are all playing their first season of D1 basketball
Dedan Thomas Jr and Brooklyn Hicks went into the Pit as true freshman and performed.
Rob Whaley playing his first year out of JuCo was a beast in the paint.
This young core is special.

Let’s get that student number to 5,000 and sell out the lower bowl at Allegiant!
We need a large and loud crowd tomorrow!

exorcized some demons tonight.
Finally beat SDSU
Closed out a tight game down the stretch
Lastly DJ hit the 2 biggest free throws of his young career, after struggling tonight and at points during the season.
Jalen Hill will be a Runnin’ Rebel for the 23-24 season.
Hill chose Oklahoma over UNLV coming out of high school. In large part due to Kevin Kruger.
Hill will now return back to his hometown for his final season. Big get for Kevin Kruger

#UNLVmbb
is having one of their top targets for the 2024 class on campus this week for a visit!
Kevin Kruger and his staff continue to put in work. Very exciting time for the program!
I know I’m overly tough on the Rebels/Kruger. But that’s because I know what this team is capable of
They can beat anyone and has the talent to be a tourney team. That’s what makes the bad loses so frustrating
We didn’t start strong, but let’s finish strong and make some noise
Rebels win 68-50!
Take care of business for all 40 minutes, easy game. Rebels have won 9 out of their last 10.
Huge game Tuesday night for senior night against ranked SDSU!

It’s been a tough year for Justin Webster but he’s undefeated against Reno in his career and loves lighting them up from 3.
Saturday will be the game he goes off and breaks out of his 3 point slump with a few huge ones
It’s
#UNLVmbb
gameday!
UNLV looks to prove that the loss against Southern was just a fluke.
Kalib Boone will make his UNLV debut after serving a 1 game suspension.
Most importantly, come out and support Anderson Hunt getting his jersey retired. He deserves a nice turnout
January 23rd, 2024
This marks the end of the Kevin Kruger era. Rebels get embarrassed by Air Force on their home court, a 32 point blowout.
#UNLVmbb
will have a new coach beginning the start of 2024-2025 season. The rest of the year is just a formality for Kevin Kruger
#UNLVmbb
seeding scenarios:
A Boise loss @ SDSU gives UNLV a top 3 seed regardless of the outcome of Saturdays game.
1 Utah State loss makes UNLV vs UNR a game for a share of the conference title with USU
2 Utah State losses makes UNLV vs UNR a game for the outright title
