Showing off their best jump shot and dressed in jerseys representing schools from the participating NCAA conferences, which include Pac-12, Mountain West Conference, West Coast Conference and Western Athletic Conference, the swimsuit beauties paid homage to Sports Illustrated's historic college basketball reporting and the destination's devoted basketball roots.

Joining the Sports Illustrated models was the University of Nevada, Las Vegas mascot Hey Reb! Under an oversized "Only-Vegas" hoop, Hey Reb! countered the models with his best half-court shot.
