The Runnin' Rebels had their first, true road test of the season. Their offensive prowess lacked from start to finish. The Dave Rice era of road woes continues.
The UNLV Rebels played their worst half of basketball this season, committed an outlandish amount of turnovers, and their best scorer, Patrick McCaw, seemed disinterested - or tired - much of the game. UNLV definitely let this game go by losing a low scoring game, 56-50.
Wednesday evening's match up against the Wichita State Shockers was completely winnable for the Rebs, but surprisingly, it was not a zone defense that stifled UNLV.
