Runnin’ Rebels lose by 49 to No. 5 ranked Duke University

With a much different Duke University Blue Devils squad from the year 1990, the UNLV Rebels got obliterated, 94-45, on Saturday at the sold out T-Mobile Arena.

If you are a UNLV student, then you at least hoped the Rebels made it a competition for Duke. Coach Marvin Menzies said it best; the guys played hard, but did not play smart.

It was a challenging game for the Rebels, to say the least.

Off to a 20-3 lead within the first seven minutes, the Blue Devils continued their dominance all the way through to the end of the second half.
