As the UNLV Runnin' Rebels prepare to host the Bethesda Flames at the Thomas & Mack Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain its recent momentum. The Rebels have been on a winning streak, showcasing a strong offensive and defensive game that has left opponents struggling to keep up.

In their last outing against the Fighting Saints, UNLV dominated with an impressive 87-51 victory. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting 48 percent from the field and an exceptional 40 percent from beyond the arc. The team's ability to share the ball was evident with 24 assists leading to high-percentage shots. Defensively, they were just as imposing with 15 steals and ten blocks, disrupting Carroll College's rhythm throughout the game.

The previous match against Hofstra Pride also ended in favor of UNLV with a solid 74-56 win. They maintained their shooting efficiency at 48 percent from the field while converting free throws at an excellent rate of 86 percent. The Runnin' Rebels capitalized on second-chance points and kept turnovers low, which contributed significantly to their comfortable margin of victory.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for UNLV in recent games; they faced a tough challenge when they played away against Saint Mary's Gaels. Despite falling short by just two points in double overtime (67-69), there were positive takeaways such as resilience under pressure and maintaining composure during crucial moments of play.
