Can the UNLV Runnin' Rebels Outplay the Aztecs at Viejas Arena?

As the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Runnin' Rebels gear up to face the San Diego State Aztecs at Viejas Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The question on everyone's mind is whether UNLV can carry forward their momentum from a string of impressive performances.

In their last outing on January 2nd, UNLV dominated Bethesda Flames with a staggering 112-56 victory. The team showcased an offensive masterclass, shooting an exceptional 53 percent from the field and a remarkable 69 percent from two-point range. Their defense was equally formidable; they amassed a total of 10 blocks and kept turnovers low.

The Runnin' Rebels have been relentless in their pursuit of victory. Against Carroll College Fighting Saints on December 31st, they secured an emphatic win with a scoreline of 87-51. Their defensive prowess was evident as they racked up another 10 blocks and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 28 points off them.

UNLV's consistency has been key to their success this season. Even when faced with Hofstra Pride earlier in December, they maintained composure to win by a comfortable margin of 74-56. They shot well from all areas, including an impressive free throw percentage of 86 percent that night.

The upcoming clash against SDSU will be no walk in the park though; it promises to be one of their toughest challenges yet. The Aztecs are known for their tenacious defense and will test every facet of UNLV's game plan.

However, given UNLV’s recent form – particularly in converting points off turnovers and controlling the paint – there is every reason for Rebel fans to believe that victory is within reach once again.

Looking ahead to January 6th at Viejas Arena in San Diego, supporters should expect nothing less than full-throttle basketball from tip-off at precisely 1:00 PM PST. With CBS broadcasting nationally, fans across the country can tune in live to witness what could be another milestone performance by the Runnin' Rebels as they aim to outplay and outlast the Aztecs on their home court.
