The Best College Team of that era against a really good pro team in UNLV.

Runnin Rebels were must see TV back in the day. R.I.P. to THE Shark.

What a doubleheader for CBS- That mega-monster UNLV team against a great Arkansas team, followed by LSU with SHAQ against Laettner/Hurley/Hill. Back when college basketball was still college baskeball. When CBS weekend games FELT like must-see big-time stuff.

This was College Basketball at its peak👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

From 82-2004 greatest decades for college basketball Billy Packer and Jim Nance super announcers.UNLV greatest team ever assembled.

UNLV certainly wasn't afraid to schedule good competition. They played at Arkansas, at Louisville, and Michigan State at Auburn Hills (a defacto road game). Tark's rebels were a classic anytime anyplace anywhere team. Played a lot of teams on their campuses. No fear.

1991 in college hoops, good times. The one and only year that both icons we lost this week were in the Final Four. RIP Dean, Shark.

This UNLV team I still say is the greatest team I have ever seen. I remember being in absolute shock when they lost to Duke. I had never seen a basketball team (outside of the original Dream Team) so dominant.

I remember when this went down, the hype was HUGE, it was THE game to watch. Nolan Richardson's "40 minutes of hell" or whatever it was called, forgive me, Im an old man. My memory isnt what it used to be. Both these teams were undefeated and wow, unlv kicked their ass! It was close for the first half and as usual, unlv just figures the other team out and dominates. Great game, thanks for the upload!

The absolute best college TEAM EVER PERIOD💯

Thank you Tark for all the great memories. Especially this game. RIP Tark.

Arguably one of the top 10 most anticipated regular season games of all time. UNLV was the rock star team. Arkansas was the up and coming challengers. The pace of this game was absolutely crazy.

My father was at this game with my Grandfather. I’m thankful for this video I can see them sitting back there ❤️

Arkansas is my team. Great game

I still have this game on VHS. Great game.

RIP Jerry Tarkanian 2/11/2015 Classic Game #1 vs. #2

These were the days if college basketball. It’s incredible how far UNLV basketball fell not that many years after this game .

GenX ushered in such an exciting new fresh brand of College Basketball in early-mid 90s. THEY ALL wanted to WIN no matter what. Plus a fresh/cool look still relevant +30yrs later!!!!!!

Very true...This was when College Basketball was at its BEST...No one-and-dones, conferences were aligned geographically and just plain FUN and passion.

Thank you so much...Great to relieve memories from these great times, even though I was very young when this game aired.

The "You Need To Go Out And Get You Some Men" Game...That's what Larry Johnson told Nolan Richardson in the 2nd half...Nolan heeded his advice...He had to wait about 2 years to get Big Nasty and by the time '94 came around, he had a lot of men...

Thanks for posting these classic game keep it coming

Larry Johnson's dunk at 1:05:51 ... w/o having seen it for over 22 years I can still remember that vicious throw-down vividly, and then Billy Packer saying that ARK was in big trouble.

Thanks for posting, been looking for this for years!

Finally found it. Been looking for this game for years

Does anybody happen to have that Duke/LSU game that came after this that was in the programming schedule bumper at the beginning of the video?

i was in boot camp at parris island when this game was played. i knew the halftime and final score but never saw the game! thanks for the upload!!

Oh by the way, ask 'Big Nasty ' Corliss Williamson who his college idol was while in H.S? Larry Johnson.

College basketball at it's finest. The quality of play in today's day and age is nowhere near as good as it was in the 80's and 90's. The one and done rule has ruined the game.

This game was one of the best in college basketball history.You have maybe the best team in history with UNLV and Arkansas's best team talent wise.It was fast paced and the little fight between day and johnson was fun.However it was this game that told Nolan Richardson he had to go out and get bigger players to win the national championship and thats what Coach Richardson did!Winning it all 3 years later!

The best game ever.SUPER HYPE was a rebel fanatic watched the game UNLV at their very best.

Thanks for the upload....nice and clear!!

People make fun of Oliver Miller but he was a beast in this game. Those blocks & passes were unbelievable!

No problem man, I appreciate it. I'm also posting this game to show young fans (like myself) what REAL College Basketball was like before all that "one and done" crap.

When the Razorbacks were a legitimate powerful

This two best teams of Modern Era of College Basketball.

thanks...I have been looking for this for a long time!! Almost called CBS

Say what you want about UNLV and Tark but they played BASKETBALL!! Hard-nose, relentless Defense, rebound, outlet, DUNK.....for 60 minutes!

The way they clobbered teams like in this game in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half with steals, rebounds and fast breaks made them my favorite team. I stayed home from school to watch the Montana game in the 91 tournament. I think they would have benefited greatly from being in a stronger conference and having some tough games late in the year like in the power 5

Anybody in 2020?!!

Instant classic remember when this came on the TV schedule!! All eyes on that game!!

one the best college hoop games of all time

Just great memories. Remember watching these games with my dad.

This is when coaches had balls. Nobody was taking this late season battle on enemy courts like UNLV. 40 Minutes of hell was legit and to play them on the road back then was bananas.

I was 13 years old, and I remember this team well. '91 rebels were the best I ever saw, even better than the '90 squad that won the title. If they played duke 100 times, duke may have only won once or twice. They just happened to play their worst game in 2 years in the final four.

The apex of College Hoops.

Walter Payton was at the game!

I brought it from a guy online, who used to have an ioffer.com account. But, now you have to e-mail him the games you want. He charges about $6-$8 per game, but $2-$3 per shipping.

The decibel level in Barnhill Arena was ear-splitting back in those days. Never heard it that loud in Walton Arena. When Jim Robken and the Razorback Band would crank up William Tell Overture, that place would EXPLODE with sound! Those were the days.

These were my boys. 💯 One of the greatest college teams of all time. UnLv Runnin Rebels. 🏀

This is the hay-day of college basketball. I was at LSU with Shaq and we LIVED college basketball

I so miss big time college basketball!

I remember as a kid the build-up for this game was crazy

Golden Era/ I mean the absolute PEAK of College Basketball. I was 13 and these are yrs I fell in love with College Hoops and KU hoops.

The greatest era of college basketball…. So glad I got to witness it while it happened

YESSSS and thanks for the upload. Great video

ahh the ol"SouthWestern Conference

2nd Half: Steal. Pass. Basket. Johnson lay-in. Ackles slam. Johnson follow. Johnson lay-in. Augmon follow. Augmon bank. Augmon baseline. Augmon drive. Augmon. Augmon. Augmon.

I was a season ticket holder from 87 - 94 never missed a home game it was an exciting time to be a UNLV fan. 😊

I was there. Camped out all week to get first row student section seats. It was a frenzy, with AR students nearly breaking the doors down before they opened them. Stupendous talent on both teams. Our Razorbacks didn't win, but we left feeling we had seen one of the greatest games ever.

Well, I was only about 1-2 years old...haha, but I've heard stories from my uncle, father and brother about these UNLV teams and how great they were. Ever since I've watched the 1991 Final Four film on ESPN in '97, I've always wanted to see games from them. They would DESTROY teams if that team was playing in today's College ball, even today's NBA ball.

For younger fans that missed this era, Tarks UNLV teams were the Showtime Lakers of college basketball. UNLV games at the Shark Tank in Vegas were star studded events. Never been anything like it since......This was one of the greatest College basketball team in history, along with some John Woodens great UCLA teams.

This Era had so much to look forward to from a fans perspective. This and the Houston vs Louisville match up in the final 4 just stick in my mind.

I remember having this game taped on my old VHS cassette and it is still the most borrowed item i have possessed in my life.

That Todd day punch 😂

I remember the hype surrounding this game.

Those UNLV teams in '90 and '91 were not only ridiculously talented and well coached, the players were all very unselfish. Nobody cared who got the points, as long as the team won.

Fun times to be a Razorback fan

It's Been almost 30 yrs since UNLV gave DUKE the WORST Beat Down of any Runner-Up in the NATIONAL Title Game. A 30-pt BLOW OUT. Seeing this GREAT College Hoops Game, #1 vs. #2, first time in about 20 yrs, I'm Still Wondering HOW The Dukies Won that National SEMI-Final the Next yr in '91. And, I'm a DUKE Fan. BUT, I DO BELIEVE that The 'Runnin Rebels' Got PAID To LOSE. I Think Some Folks in UP HIGH Places Wanted The BLUE-Devils, BACK in the TITLE Game. Coach K had been to 8 Previous FINAL Fours. Hell, the Only SENIOR Player On that '91 DUKE Squad (Greg Koubek) was in a FF All his Career at the West Durham Campus. NO Player had accomplished that Feat since 3 or 4 UCLA Players (like Marque Johnson) in the mid 1970s. When you see How UNLV Dismantled a Talented Team like U-Ark, here, It Makes you Think. Remember to, this Razorback Squad was the Foundation leading to the '94 Squad. THAT Squad, led by CORLISS WILLIAMSON & SCOTTY THURMAN, gave Coach RICHARDSON his Lone NATIONAL Title. Against......GUESS WHO ? (Uh Boy......Don't Tell Me.....) Coach K's BLUE-Devils

Another classic cozzman. Arkansas players looked like they didn't know what hit them in the 2nd half. Vegas' chemistry was unbelievable, everyone knew their role & the points could come from anywhere.

Barnhill Arena. Classic

It's literally game over if Rebs worked on getting ball into Johnson early.

Arkansas was a damn good team themselves with MayDay an UNLV still made them look silly in their house

CLASSIC GAME RIGHT HERE!!

When I watch Tark talk with Billy in the pre-game, it reminds me of Dr. Tom Osborne. It's about being prepared and playing the best you can. More Than Winning!

When you see games like these you can't convince me today's game is better.

College basketball will never EVER get matchups like this again.

I remeber this barn burner big time college game

This team here is still my favorite even more so than Corliss Williamson and the 94-95 Razorback teams (94 NCAA Champs, 95 Runner-up to UCLA). I sorely miss those baseball passes that Big O would throw down the court like at the 38:30 mark for those fast break points. He would rebound and automatically look down-court for the fast break. The 94 was a better TEAM, but these guys were great individual talents and also an awesome team as well. Just not as deep on the bench as the 94-95 team. Unfortunately they only got as far as the Final Four and never won an NCAA Championship.

This was one of the all time great basketball arenas. The new arena at Arkansas was never as loud, even though it held twice as many people. One of my friends who is a Carolina fan thought it was louder than Duke.

This UNLV club had a margin of victory at 26.7 ppg. Let that sink into your brain. This team, on average, beat people by almost 30 points...EVERY game. Duke should thank whatever god they worship, for having given this team it's only loss in this season.

Vegas was absolutely incredible in the late 80s/early 90s. RIP SHARK

I was student this game. 2nd row mid court. I was in awe when LV dancers walked out on court. Larry J. was a bad dude. Mayberry made it a game 2nd half. Nolan is still the man and he never cheated.

Wow...this is the only game that I've ever recorded!!!

WPS! Great memories! Love those Hogs! Always have, always will!!!!! 🐗🐗🐗❤️❤️❤️

I'm a longtime Jayhawks fan but UNLV uni's 1989-91 were the shit to this very day! Especially their home whites. Then their cool warm ups?

Damn I forgot all about this game!!!!

I had a picture (from Sports Illustrated I think) of Augmon's dunk at 49:00 in my school locker. It was taken from under the opposite basket. His arm pit was at rim level, and his finger tips were well over the box on the glass. It's hard to appreciate how high he got in normal speed, but he was way over the rim.

UNLV, The Best Show in Town!!! That town is the entertainment Capital of the Earth,bar none !!!

I grew up a Razorbacks fan. It now just hit me who Nolan Richardson back then looked like: Clay Davis (corrupt politician from 'The Wire').

Two days late, but you're quite welcome man.

Sounds true...I've only seen about 3-4 games with that UNLV team, since I'm only 24 years old. But, I would definitely love to see more games from them in the future.

Larry Johnson taunted Nolan Richardson during this game telling him to ‘get some men.’ Nolan did, getting Big Nasty Corlis Williamson, Corey Beck, Clint McDaniels, Darnell Robinson, Dwight Stewart and won a national championship in 1994 and another championship game in 1995.

3 weeks late responding to your comment, but I do hope to get the '90 Championship game between these two in the near future. When I do, I will most definitely put that one up for you (Assuming no one else does beforehand).

no doubt!!!! great players and ironically duke was playing lsu next that day on cbs. everyone thought that arkansas was the only team that could possibly beat vegas.

Watch 1:05:46 Larry Johnson on the fast break.Changed the game! Thats when they ran them off their own court. ;)

Arkansas should have invested in a weight room.

I would like to see some of the games between Bama and Arkansas from that time period. Grueling games with Wimp Sanderson and Nolan Richardson dueling from the coach's boxes. Arkansas with the players you see here. Alabama with "Big Shot Bob" Robert Horry, Latrell Spreewell, David Benoit, Marcus Webb, Melvin Cheatum, James "Hollywood" Robinson, Jason Caffey, Eric Washington... all future pros.

17:10, I always hated when Bill Packer would say something that the video reply completely contradicted.

This team was crazy!! Larry Johnson, Greg Anthony, Stacey Augmon, Anderson Hunt, etc. How Duke beat them still amazes me, especially after the previous year's Nat Championship Game.
