UNLV Runnin' Rebels Set to Host Stetson Hatters at Thomas & Mack Center

As the UNLV Runnin' Rebels prepare to welcome the Stetson Hatters to the Thomas & Mack Center, fans are anticipating an intriguing matchup. The Rebels, coming off a recent game where they scored 71 points against the Southern University Jaguars, showed a strong second-half performance with 50 points but ultimately fell short by 14 points.

Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways for UNLV. They demonstrated resilience in their rebounding efforts, securing a total of 32 rebounds and outperforming their opponents in offensive rebounds with 11 compared to the Jaguars' six. Their defensive prowess was evident as they blocked six shots throughout the game.

However, ball handling remains an area for improvement for UNLV; they turned over the ball 13 times and had an assist-to-turnover ratio of just one. This is something they will need to tighten up against Stetson if they want to control the game's pace and maintain possession.

The three-point shooting also presents a mixed bag for UNLV. They attempted 29 shots from beyond the arc but only converted nine into points – a three-point percentage that leaves room for growth. On a more positive note, their free-throw shooting was relatively solid at around two-thirds success rate.

Playing at home should give UNLV an edge as teams often perform better in familiar surroundings with supportive fans behind them. The Thomas & Mack Center has been known to create an energetic atmosphere that can rattle visiting teams while boosting home team morale.

Fans can catch all the action on November 12th when these two teams face off in Las Vegas at Thomas & Mack Center. The game will be broadcasted on MW Network online platform – ensuring supporters won't miss any of this exciting college basketball encounter.
