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 see Anderson Hunt wearing his High School Prospects jersey. Southwestern H.S. in Detroit in the house! Coach Perry Watson had some legendary High School squads. Respect!!!
This team was stacked. Glad I saw them back in the day. Amoeba defense!! The only team that can hang with them was probably Arkansas 1994 with Big Nasty and Scotty Thurman or 1990 with Todd Day and Lee Mayberry.
No doubt the greatest college basketball team ever assembled. As a born and raised native of vegas and former neighbor of stacey augmon i might be biased, but it's just facts. You'll never see a team that dominate again.
@tmjinlv They aren't ex-cons these particular guys were and still are decent people. Now they were questionable players that Tark recruited but none are on this video.

Unlv is one of few colleges that actually tries to set their students up for success after graduation.
@tmjinlv Yes they were. That was my favorite college team ever. They should have won back to back. The NCAA were always after their coach.
Thanks a million!! Man, this brought back memories, great memories. This UNLV squad was the best!!
These were some BAD Dudes
Listening to LARRY, and this is why hes always been one of my top 5
Brings back memories of my teenaged years watching this video and remembering these Rebs players...great video! Thanks 😊
The Fab 5 couldn't hold these guys' jocks.
The amoeba defense yes sir

Back to my teens….
Loved this team…!!!
H~
remember my dad and I watching these games as a kid and him saying this is the best team vie ever seen play men vs boys.
This team was stacked. Glad I saw them back in the day. Amoeba defense!! The only team that can hang with them was probably Arkansas 1994 with Big Nasty and Scotty Thurman or 1990 with Todd Day and Lee Mayberry.
1990 Clearly couldn't since unlv won the chip.
defense creates offense!
That’s running Rebels basketball
@smokingun7 men vs boys it was definitely i too remember watching these games when I was 10 years old
Just to be clear! David Butler DID NOT start at center for that 1990 UNLV team! It was a 6ft 8' sky walker named George Ackles!

The starting point guard Greg Anthony was the head of the young republican group on campus. Very far from "ex con" attitude or mentality.
AMOEBA!!!!!
at 3:27 that would have been called a foul (flagrant) if it was against duke. rich white boy basketball getting all the calls.
Anyone who supports Duke is a bitch.
Let's Go Rebels!!!!
