Vegas forever. On a mile-high night in Denver’s McNichols Sports Arena, Jerry Tarkanian’s Runnin’ Rebels didn’t just win a title—they detonated the record books. Led by Anderson Hunt (29 pts, Final Four MOP), Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon, and Greg Anthony, UNLV blitzed Duke 103–73, the largest championship margin in NCAA history. It was the program’s first national crown and a defining statement of pace, power, and swagger that made Vegas basketball a national phenomenon.
