UNLV's Todd Simon Starts Head Coaching Career With Win

Todd Simon might be making the big step to collegiate head coach for the first time, but he started with a win. UNLV claims their first victory in their conference match-up against the New Mexico Lobos, 86-74.

To say that the Rebels won because Dave Rice was gone would be inaccurate, but to say that last night's victory over the now the 3-1 Lobos was a step in the right direction for the UNLV Rebels would be astute.

Under interim Head Coach Todd Simon, UNLV scored their first win in conference play. It was long overdue for Rebel fans.
