Rebel Basketball First Look 2009!

Tonight is the night. Runnin' Rebel FirstLook 2009 is tonight at 9 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack Center. It is the first official practice event for UNLV men's basketball and is an official event of UNLV Homecoming. Below are some frequently asked questions about FirstLook. We look forward to seeing you there.

What is the price of admission?

Admission is free.

Will there be concessions at FirstLook?

Yes, concession stands will be open starting when the doors open at 8:15 p.m. Will there be a dunk competition? While there will not be an official dunk competition, an increased number of drills this year will allow fans to see some of the athleticism of the players - including several dunks.

Will fans have a chance to meet the players?

Immediately following the practice, fans are invited to meet and greet the Runnin' Rebel players on the court for a brief period.

Will there be fireworks?

UNLV's famous pregame fireworks show is scheduled. Don't be late to the event.

Where can I sit at FirstLook?

Seats in the plaza section of the Thomas & Mack Center are available on a first-come basis. Doors open at 8:15 p.m.

Are there any alterations to the program this year?

Yes. With several new players on the roster, FirstLook will be a great opportunity for fans to see the players in action - both in drills and during a live scrimmage. This will be the focus of the evening. The event will start with the introduction of the team, followed by a few select team and individual drills and will end with a 20-minute scrimmage.

Is this a good event for families?

Even though it is a late starting time, this is a great event for families. And - for that reason - the event will be fast-moving to help parents get the little ones back to bed after a late night with the Runnin' Rebels. Children will also enjoy seeing the band, Hey Reb, cheerleaders and Rebel Girls perform as they do during games. Kids will also have a chance to meet the players on the court after the game.

What should I wear?

Red. Today is Rebel Red Day all day.

We look forward to seeing you tonight. Go Rebels!
