UNLV Runnin' Rebels Set to Battle Washington State Cougars at MGM Grand

As the UNLV Runnin' Rebels gear up to face the Washington State Cougars at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Rebels have been on a tear lately, and their recent performances suggest that they're more than ready to take on their next challenge.

Looking back at UNLV's past games, it's clear that they've found a rhythm that works for them. Their impressive 77-62 victory over Hawai'i Warriors on December 8th showcased their ability to maintain a lead and close out games. With an assist-to-turnover ratio of 0.77 and shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc, UNLV demonstrated both smart ball-handling and sharpshooting prowess.

But it was their explosive performance against Life Pacific College Warriors on November 27th that truly turned heads. Scoring an astounding 126 points with a field goal percentage of nearly 62 percent, the Rebels dominated every aspect of the game. Their defense was just as formidable, boasting nine blocks and forcing numerous turnovers leading to easy fast-break points.

The Cougars should not be underestimated though; they bring their own set of skills to the court which could pose challenges for UNLV. However, given how UNLV has been playing recently – particularly in terms of offensive efficiency – it seems likely that they will continue their winning ways.

The upcoming game promises high stakes and high excitement as both teams vie for supremacy on December 10th at one of Las Vegas's premier sports venues.
