from The Rebellion Podcast · host Ryan Staker and Laura Rodriguez

This is a story about the UNLV Runnin’ Rebel basketball program. The narrative discusses the events of the past three decades that have resulted in the erosion of the national relevance of this once-dominant basketball program and the substantial decline of its fan base. It is the belief of UNLV basketball fans that the program has been cursed, as they attribute every negative event that has occurred since 1991 to this. By selecting "play," you can discover why fans think this. Enjoy!
