The Thomas & Mack Center fell silent as the final buzzer sounded and the Utah State Aggies celebrated in victory while the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels headed for the tunnel with their heads down.
“We’re going to get everybody’s best shot […] It’s hard to lose but it’s a learning experience,” freshman forward Brandon McCoy said immediately after UNLV’s 85-78 loss to Utah State Saturday, Jan. 6.
“I feel like that atmosphere in the locker room isn’t going to change. We just have to buckle down in practice as well as in games. We have tough road game ahead of us and we just have to get back to the drawing board,” McCoy added.
