Three takeaways from the UNLV basketball team’s 81-75 victory over Wyoming on Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Sticking to the game plan
UNLV (8-7, 1-1) was committed to stopping the 3-point shot against one of the better shooting teams in the Mountain West.
The Rebels refused to adjust on defense, and Wyoming (11-4, 1-1) attacked the rim with ease.
It was a risky game plan, but it paid off with the Cowboys shooting 5 of 26 on 3-pointers. Wyoming’s top shooters, Jason McManamen and Cody Kelly, combined for only four points.
