Five takeaways from the UNLV basketball team’s 92-56 loss at San Diego State on Saturday:
1. It was bound to happen sooner or later. UNLV has played hard and accomplished more than it should have given all the hits the Rebels’ roster has taken. But with Jerome Seagears not able to play because of an ongoing right heel injury, that reduced UNLV to five available scholarship players. That was too much to ask going on the road to face the Mountain West’s best team.
2. Having said all that, this margin of the defeat was startling.
