Can UNLV Outmaneuver the Wolf Pack in Reno?

As the UNLV Runnin' Rebels gear up for their next encounter, fans are eager to see if they can maintain their recent momentum. The Rebels have shown a mix of resilience and areas for improvement over their past few games. In their latest match against the Wyoming Cowboys, they secured a hard-fought victory in overtime with 75 points to 69, showcasing a strong free-throw performance at 86 percent but struggled with turnovers, committing 15.

In an earlier game against Colorado State Rams, the Rebels emerged victorious with a six-point margin (66-60), thanks to an impressive 84 percent accuracy from the free-throw line. However, once again turnovers were an issue as they recorded 13.

Their most dominant performance came against Air Force Falcons where they cruised to a comfortable win with a score of 72-43. Their field goal percentage stood at an efficient 50 percent and points in the paint were high at 40, indicating strong inside play.

The upcoming game is set to take place at Lawlor Events Center in Reno – enemy territory for UNLV. Playing away could pose additional challenges; however, it also provides an opportunity for the team to demonstrate its ability to perform under pressure and hostile environments.

Defensively, UNLV will need to be vigilant as turnovers have been a recurring problem despite their winning outcomes. Offensively, maintaining high free throw percentages could be key in close encounters along with capitalizing on second-chance points where they've shown proficiency.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup between UNLV Runnin' Rebels and Nevada Wolf Pack on March 9th at Lawlor Events Center. The game is scheduled for a tip-off at 7:30 PM local time and will be broadcasted on CBS Sports Network.
