LAHAINA, Hawaii — They came to paradise, as much for anything, to learn about themselves. What they do well. What they need to improve. What they are today. What they might become tomorrow.
UNLV's basketball team headed home late Wednesday having answered some of those questions a 3-0 start against inferior opponents presented.
The Rebels are 5-1 today and claimed a victory against No. 13 Indiana in the fifth-place game of the Maui Invitational. They went 2-1 at the Lahaina Civic Center, with the lone loss coming to UCLA by a basket.
That qualifies as a successful trip.
