UNLV vs. San Jose State: Shorthanded Rebels defeat feisty Spartans. 64-61

Runnin' Rebels overcome abysmal shooting to win a dog fight against an upset minded San Jose State squad.

The major question going into this game is whether UNLV would be able to shoot well enough to offset the production they were going to lose by not having Stephen Zimmerman on the court.

The Rebels answered by having one of their worst shooting nights of the season, but fortunately were able to rely on their defense in second half to secure a come from behind victory against San Jose State 64-61.

UNLV would score the first six points of the game, but wouldn't see another lead until less than ten minutes to go in the second half.
