"They're a very good ball club," UNLV guard Anthony Marshall said. "They've got tough guards, pretty good big men. I got to see them play a lot on TV on ESPN. I got to catch a couple of games."
Many of the Rebels are already familiar with Illini sophomore guard D.J. Richardson, who averages 8.1 points per game.
He played his senior season of high school ball at Findlay Prep in Henderson in 2008-09, teaming up with current UNLV redshirt freshman center Carlos Lopez. He also played pick-up ball during the summer before his senior campaign with several members of the current UNLV team, and he and Lopez were texting back and forth less than a minute after the pairing was announced.
