UNLV Basketball
Last year, in a nationally televised game at Cox Pavilion, the Lady Rebels rallied from 16 points down to defeat a San Diego State squad that would advance to the NCAA’s Sweet 16.
When its offense is running smoothly, UNLV has all sorts of scoring options. Senior guard Tre’Von Willis, who led all scorers, said losing was not an option.
Chace Stanback didn’t appear any different on the outside as he quietly explained in his typical low-key fashion his breakout from a three-week slump.
On a UNLV team with two seniors and three juniors in the starting lineup, sophomore Anthony Marshall has decided to be more assertive as a leader. Marshall said the 25th-ranked Rebels, who were humbled in an 89-77 home loss to No. 15 Brigham Young on Wednesday, need to rally emotionally and avoid allowing one poor game to send the team into a tailspin.
The UNLV women’s basketball team led Brigham Young 40-39 at halftime, then shot just 25 percent in the second half, falling to the Cougars 75-64 in Provo, Utah.
Jimmer’s under the boards. Jimmer’s in the open. Jimmer makes the shot.
Like Batman and Robin, the Lone Ranger and Tonto or the Green Hornet and Kato, Brigham Young’s Jimmer Fredette is all the more unstoppable when sidekick Jackson Emery is on his game.
