Boise State shows grit, knocks off UNLV 81-69

Boise State and UNLV played a game of role reversal Tuesday night as the Broncos pushed past the Rebs in the second half, delivering payback from the January 27th matchup.

Just less than a month ago, Boise State held a comfortable 40-32 at intermission at the Thomas & Mack Center, but unraveled against Patrick McCaw's Rebels and was outscored by 18 in the second half.

Wednesday night at the Taco Bell Arena, the Broncos were able to flip the script, outhustling the Rebels en route to a 81-69 victory.

Anthony Drmic continued his hot shooting, guiding Boise State (18-10, 9-6) with 21 points, six rebounds and four 3s.
