FORT COLLINS, Colo. — A snowstorm is forecast to hit this region today, when coach Dave Rice planned for the UNLV basketball team to bus to Denver for practice. It should make for a fitting scene.
Rice is leading the Rebels into the eye of a storm.
In his five seasons, Rice has been forced to offer explanations for several bizarre losses. But never did he lose his cool as he did Wednesday night, three times saying he was "pissed off" after a disconcerting 66-65 defeat to Colorado State.
Never has he needed a win more than he does Saturday, when UNLV wraps up a two-game road trip at Wyoming.
