Four Colorado Rockies players attended Wednesday’s basketball at Arena-Auditorium as part of a team promotion to increase fan interest throughout Front Range.
The players’ own interest in the game didn’t last long, and they left after halftime with Wyoming leading UNLV by 18 points.
Turns out they missed a good game, with UNLV rallying to take the lead and with a shot to win it. But Jovan Mooring’s 3-pointer bounced off the side of the rim, and the Rebels lost 66-65.
UNLV (10-11, 3-5 Mountain West) fell down 41-23 at halftime to the Cowboys (14-7, 4-4) before coming back to twice take a three-point lead.
