The UNLV Runnin' Rebels are an NCAA Division I men's basketball team based in the Las Vegas suburb of Paradise, Nevada, that plays in the Thomas & Mack Center. UNLV has the fourth-highest winning percentage (.712) in Division I history in 2009, below Kentucky, North Carolina, and Kansas but ahead of UCLA and Duke. The Runnin' Rebels have made at least the Elite Eight eight times in school history. The team was founded as a member of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association before moving up to the Western Athletic Conference in 1951. They left the WAC after one season and moved down to the Big West where they have remained since 1978. They have won or shared the conference title nine times, including a share of the first Big West championship in 1979. After spending most of their early years as an independent, UNLV joined the Mountain West in 2012. They have been ranked in the top 25 each year of their existence and have had 12 players selected in the NBA Draft, most recently Anthony Bennett in 2014. Nine of those players have gone on to be picked in the first round. UNLV's all-time leading scorer is David Anderson with 2,921 points scored over his career. His number 10 has been retired by the university. Head coach Jerry Tarkanian is the all-time leader in victories with 930 wins. He also has the highest winning percentage (.708) of any active head coach in the nation.
