Unless Warren Beatty suddenly joins the selection committee, the UNLV men’s basketball team certainly won’t receive an invitation to the NCAA Tournament or any other postseason event this year.
This means that there is likely only three chances left this season to bet against the Rebels (10-19, 3-13 Mountain West), who have lost nine straight games while going 1-7-1 against the spread and have covered only two of their last 14 games.
UNLV, mired in its worst season in school history, is coming off a pair of embarrassing blowout losses — 81-58 at Air Force on Wednesday and 94-58 to rival UNR on Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
