Morning Rumble: Dave Rice is out at UNLV, Allonzo Trier out 4-6 weeks with broken hand

Today in the Morning Rumble, UNLV fires it's head man, an Arizona Wildcat is out 4-6 weeks and Villanova wins again in the Big East.

UNLV head coach Dave Rice, who has 98-54 record over four-plus years in Las Vegas, was fired on Sunday evening with the Runnin' Rebels starting conference play with an 0-3 record. The last straw was a blown 17-point lead to one of the worst teams in the Mountain West Conference, Wyoming, with their leading scorer Josh Adams scoring just 12 points.

Rice has become a fantastic recruiter but he was never able to get the most out of his talent.
