UNLV basketball coach Josh Pastner is entering his second season aiming to revive the program's prominence, beginning November 3 against Northern Arizona, after a debut season marked by low attendance despite efforts to engage the community. The team, which went 18-17 last year and has not reached the NCAA Tournament since 2013, added 10 transfers including Cam Miles, Terrance Ford Jr. and Sebastian Mack, while awaiting a decision on AJ Storr’s eligibility for a fifth year. Tyrin Jones and Issac Williamson return, both having made the preseason all-Mountain West team, with Jackson Kiss named preseason freshman of the year. Pastner emphasized toughness and effort, stating winning is essential to re-energize fan support.
Meanwhile, UNLV football may see the return of starting center Austin Boyd, who has been practicing after missing time due to injury sustained in the season opener against Memphis. His potential return is seen as a boost for the offensive line, which has allowed 11 sacks over six games after giving up six in the opener.
