Three takeaways from the UNLV basketball team’s 63-59 loss to Texas Christian on Friday at the Thomas & Mack Center:
1. This one hurts, but it can’t linger.
If the Rebels had been told beforehand that TCU wouldn’t score a field goal over the final 4:37 of a close game, they probably would have figured it would be a UNLV victory.
Which is what makes this loss so frustrating for the Rebels. They had every chance to win down the stretch, but couldn’t get out of their own way with turnovers and missed shots.
