RUNNIN' RELBELS OF UNLV

RUNNIN' REBELS OF UNLV examines the larger-than-life personalities of future NBA stars such as Larry Johnson, Greg Anthony and Stacey Augmon, as well as the eccentricities of their head coach, who was a lightning rod for controversy. Jerry Tarkanian put UNLV – once dismissed as "Tumbleweed Tech" – on the map in his first full season as head coach, leading the team to a 20-6 record in 1973. Implementing an up-tempo offense and preaching defensive intensity, he guided the Rebels to the Final Four four times and won the 1990 NCAA Championship with a 30-point drubbing of the Duke Blue Devils.

OAKES took on the challenge of designing a title sequence that would capture this attitude. The HBO Sports documentary debuted in 2011 on the eve of college basketball's March Madness.
