The Runnin' Rebs ended their non-conference schedule on Tuesday. Now, Rebel fans can reflect on the first 13 games and make their holiday wishes for the tough conference slate to come.
The non-conference season ended for UNLV on Tuesday night with a thumping of South Dakota State, 103-68, their largest victory against an opponent this year. It was an exclamation mark in a non-conference that also seemed to be punctuated with question marks.
Looking back on the first section of this season, and all of the Rebel players and games, it's time to bring some holiday cheer to a non-conference record of 9-4 (a respectable mark considering many national analysts did not consider the Runnin' Rebels viable contenders).
