UNLV Runnin' Rebels Set to Clash with Creighton Bluejays at Dollar Loan Center

As the UNLV Runnin' Rebels gear up for their next challenge, they will be welcoming the Creighton Bluejays to the Dollar Loan Center. The upcoming game promises to be a spectacle of college basketball prowess, and fans are in for an intense matchup.

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas has shown a commendable performance in their recent outings. Despite a narrow loss against Loyola Marymount Lions on December 10th, where they scored 75 points compared to the Lions' 78, there were positive takeaways. The UNLV team showcased their ability to maintain pressure with fast break points totaling 18 and an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.67.

In contrast, when looking at their victory over Akron Zips on November 29th with a scoreline of 72-70, it's evident that UNLV can hold their nerve in tight situations. Their defensive prowess was on full display as they racked up seven blocks and twelve steals contributing significantly to their win.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for UNLV; they faced a tough game against Richmond Spiders on November 21st where they fell short by scoring only 65 points against Richmond's robust offense that put up 82 points. This game highlighted areas for improvement particularly in three-point shooting efficiency and rebounding.

The Creighton Bluejays come into this game with their own set of strengths which could pose challenges for UNLV. It will be crucial for the Runnin' Rebels to tighten up defensively and capitalize on fast break opportunities as they did against LMU earlier this month.

Fans should expect an aggressive approach from UNLV as they look to exploit any weaknesses in the Bluejays’ defense while also being mindful of protecting possession and controlling the pace of play.

With anticipation building around this encounter between two competitive teams, supporters should mark their calendars for December 14th at Dollar Loan Center located in Henderson, NV. Tip-off is scheduled at 9:00 PM ET (6:00 PM local time), ensuring prime time viewing excitement under bright lights.

For those unable to attend in person, CBS Sports Network will broadcast all live-action from channel number two-two-one ensuring no one misses out on what is set up to be another thrilling chapter in college basketball this season.
