Offseason
UNLV finished the 2009β2010 season with a 25β9 record, losing to Northern Iowa in the first round of the 2010 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, 69β66.[1] About a month later, it was announced that power forward Matt Shaw would be ineligible for his senior season because he tested positive for a banned substance.[2] On July 6, Head Coach Lon Kruger announced that Mike Moser has transferred from UCLA.[3] On September 1, Kruger announced that Kendall Wallace will undergo knee surgery due to a torn ACL and will miss the entire season.[4] Four weeks later, senior guard Tre'Von Willis was suspended for at least 10% of the season due to a June 29 arrested by the Henderson Police Department. He was charged with domestic battery and was also sentenced to a 100 hours of community service and was charged with a $325 fine.[5] Their offseason ended with their first practice on October 18, 2010.[6]
