The Runnin' Rebs lost yesterday by a basket to UCLA, but they came back with a 20 point victory against Chaminade. UNLV will face Indiana tomorrow.
The Rebels can breathe a sigh of relief after shaking off a snoozer of a start in Maui against home town favorite Chaminade. Watching the first half of the UNLV-Chaminade game was excruciating because it was sluggish and offensively minimally thrilling (minus the breakaway dunk that, of course, Derrick Jones threw down half way through the first half).
In the second half, it would be team leader Pat McCaw that pulled the Rebels from the depths of near embarrassment in Hawaii.
