Fresno State pulls away late to secure quarterfinal victory over shorthanded UNLV.
The Runnin' Rebels 2015-2016 season that started out with so much promise, but quickly spiraled out of control once conference play started, has come to an end after a 95-82 loss to the Fresno State Bulldogs in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Conference Tournament.
Fresno State would score the first basket of the game, hit their first seven shots and never trail, as their size, depth, and experience was too much for the shorthanded Rebels who faded in the second half.
To UNLVs credit, despite the Bulldogs hot shooting, the Rebels were able to keep pace and went into half time only trailing by five, 35-40.
