The win gives UNR its second win in three contests against UNLV this season, with both wins coming inside the Thomas & Mack Center.
“They just played the way they play. I believe we did things different from the second meeting than this time,” junior forward Shakur Juiston said. “We played with more heart. We played with a chip on our shoulder.”
Juiston ended the night with his 15th double-double of the season with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
The second half just didn’t go as well as the first for the Rebels.
