UNLV Basketball
Visions of knocking off the nation’s No. 1 team certainly crossed Chace Stanback’s mind during the past week. The reality of the moment was even better than the UNLV senior imagined.
It was his first start as a Division I basketball player. Justin Hawkins, who hadn’t scored more than 13 points or played more than 29 minutes in a game over his first two seasons, went for 25 points in 38 minutes Nov. 11 against Grand Canyon.
Shortly after surviving a game that was in doubt most of the way, senior guard Oscar Bellfield was looking ahead to UNLV’s next opponent.
Junior guard Mia Bell scored a career-high 27 points to lead the UNLV women’s basketball team to a 74-67 win over Texas-San Antonio on Tuesday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
A friend happened past shortly before UNLV met Cal Poly (Slow) in basketball Tuesday night and offered this assessment of the Rebels:
Mike Moser scored 14 points to lead UNLV to a 75-52 victory over Cal Poly in the second round of the Las Vegas Invitational at the Thomas & Mack Center.
As a whole, UNLV’s nonconference journey could turn into a gantlet run. So far, though, coach Dave Rice has been able to jog his basketball team through a warmup phase of the schedule.
