After another dramatic finish at the buzzer, UNLV sophomore guard Tre’Von Willis was not in a celebratory mood.
You place an X on the positive side of the ledger and move on. Watch the tape, break down all the mistakes, try to learn from them, take another deep breath and begin preparing for the next game. There’s not much else to do after such an escape.
Wink Adams had plenty of tough shooting nights this season before he strained his lower abdominal muscle. So the UNLV senior guard couldn’t use his injury as an excuse.
The Fresno State women’s basketball team held UNLV to five first-half field goals en route to a 65-42 victory Friday night at Cox Pavilion.
They have won and looked disjointed. They have won and looked terrific. They have won on the road. They have won without their leading scorer against a Top 25 team on national television.

On his self-improvement checklist, UNLV forward Darris Santee has a few goals he wants to reach. “Rebounding, defense, offense,” he said, prioritizing the three properly in terms of the Rebels’ needs, intentionally or not. “I think I can do everything better. I want to be a better all-around player.” Now is when the team needs him to be at his best.
Freshman Jamie Smith had 17 points and 14 rebounds for her third straight double-double, leading the UNLV women’s basketball team to a 71-61 victory over UC Riverside on Sunday at Cox Pavilion.
