Clash at Dollar Loan Center: UNLV Runnin' Rebels to Face Creighton Bluejays

As the UNLV Runnin' Rebels prepare to host the Creighton Bluejays at the Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent competitive edge. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 14th, promises an exciting matchup in a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could play a significant role in boosting the home team's performance.

The Rebels have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against Loyola Marymount Lions, they narrowly missed victory with a final score of 75-78. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, they shot with an impressive field goal percentage of 48 and outpaced the Lions with fast break points at 18.

Prior to that, UNLV secured a close win over Akron Zips with a scoreline of 72-70. Their resilience was on display as they managed to clinch victory despite being outrebounded by the Zips. The team's ability to convert from beyond the arc was crucial as they made nine three-pointers at an accuracy rate of 45 percent.

However, consistency remains an issue for UNLV as evidenced by their performance against Richmond Spiders where they fell short by scoring only 65 points compared to Richmond's 82. The Rebels struggled from three-point range hitting just seven out of twenty-five attempts and will need to improve on this aspect against Creighton.

The upcoming game is not just about bouncing back but also about establishing dominance at home. With recent games showing strong offensive capabilities but also highlighting areas needing improvement such as rebounding and defensive solidity, it will be interesting to see how UNLV addresses these issues on game day.
