LAS VEGAS - All fans and media are invited to welcome home the victorious UNLV men's basketball team on Sunday night in front of the Thomas & Mack Center.

The Runnin' Rebels, who are headed to their first NCAA Sweet 16 since 1991, will fly home from Chicago this evening after defeating second-seeded Wisconsin 74-68 to advance.

Assuming the team's flight arrives on time, the players, coaches and official travel party are scheduled to make their way via bus from McCarran International Airport to the front of the Thomas & Mack Center on campus at approximately 10:15-10:30 p.m. PDT.

Seventh-seeded and 18th-ranked UNLV (30-6) will next take on third-seeded Oregon on Friday night in St. Louis.
