Greg Anthony, when asked before the title game about whether the team thought the game was Good vs. Evil said: "I am privileged to live in a nation that just doesn't educate the ELITE." It was the perfect answer, and of course we have found out in the years since that Duke has accepted a number of players who didn't have the academic qualifications that other Duke students did (see William Avery). UNLV is a state run college that is easy to get into. You have to have schools like that. Especially a school like UNLV with its restaurant and hospitality type majors that are were designed to give all students a real job after they graduated. There are a lot students with doctorates in history from Columbia who are driving cab cars right now in NYC.
I agree with you. The NCAA always had it in for Coach Tarkanian. They have always been hypocritical and bias of certain teams, coaches or universities.
Even during this get together, you could see that Dave Rice was head coach material. UNLV is glad to have him and now, the Rebels ready to run again.

Great memories! What a team! All time greats!
Where was Stacy Augmon.. he was actually the heart and soul of the team..
REEEBBBEEEELLLLLSSSS!!!!!!!❤️
I enjoyed the rebel sad about stacy though I think what happened broke his heart his love for the rebels .
Lorton was a maximum prison in Virginia, but it was still the DC metro area. Its now an art musuem lol.

Would've repeated if the refs didn't foul Anthony out with 5 minutes to go the next year! Love me some Rebels!!!!
To be fair bogus refereeing is part of the sport. Tarkanian seemed to accept that.
@jayfey77 Duke was an awesome team but the Rebs could have and should have beaten them that year.
Where was Stacey?
He died in 2015 I heard.
Actually, he is alive and well and is serving as the player development coach of the Sacramento Kings.
