Runnin’ Rebs National Championship Ring Sold

An eBay auction ended this past Friday that sold a 1990 NCAA Basketball National Championship ring. The ring was sold for meager $3,700 so the auction winner made out like a bandit if you ask me. The 1990 UNLV Runnin’ Rebels slaughtered the Duke Blue Devils 103-73 in what had to be the most boring title game in the last couple of decades. The only interesting thing that happened was when freshman point guard Bobby Hurley had to run off the court right before the game started due to a serious case of the “squirts.” UNLV led by Jerry Tarkanian was a dominant team the following year when they won 34 in a row before they ultimately fell to the Dookies in the Final Four. Unfortunately we don’t know who the seller of the ring is, but I’m going with either George Ackles or Moses Scurry.
