The basketball game had just ended, and UNR coach Eric Musselman dashed over the Lawlor Events Center floor to the student section, his shirt coming untucked as he celebrated wildly with fans and Wolf Pack players.
UNR had just knocked off UNLV 65-63 in the Jan. 23 game in Reno, and no one could doubt what the victory meant to Musselman and his team.
The vision is something sure to stick with the Rebels as they prepare to face their upstate rival again at 7 p.m. today at the Thomas & Mack Center. CBS Sports Network will televise the game, and the Rebels are 6½-point favorites.
