What the UNLV basketball team said following its 68-61 victory over Southern Illinois on Monday at the Thomas & Mack Center:
Coach Marvin Menzies
“They were really good defensively. They did a good job of taking us out of our stuff at times and jamming us when we picked up the dribble. They capitalized on all of our mistakes. It wasn’t just the turnovers, it was the points off turnovers. Twenty-two points of their 61 were off our turnovers. So take care of the ball, maybe it’s a different story, but it’s a great lesson for when we get into conference.
