The UNLV Runnin' Rebels

For the first half of our trip the NBA lockout remained unresolved, and it seemed unlikely that we would get to see a game. Our next best option was the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association), and we went to a University of Nevada Las Vegas home game on our last night in Sin City.

College basketball, Vegas-style
UNLV Runnin' Rebels
The Division 1 team is currently ranked 18th and easily defeated the Canisius Golden Griffins. It was great fun to watch and a great atmosphere to soak up, but the level of basketball wasn't awe-inspiring and the Wildcats would have taken them down easily. Daniel devoured some stadium junk food and gleefully added a Rebels t-shirt to his ever-growing collection.
