Recent Performance Trends


The UNLV Runnin' Rebels have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. A closer look at their past games reveals a pattern of strong defensive plays coupled with moments of offensive brilliance. In their last game against Wyoming Cowboys, the team secured a victory with a notable performance in points scored from turnovers and paint points, highlighting their ability to capitalize on opponents' mistakes while dominating inside scoring.


However, consistency remains an area for improvement. Against Boise State Broncos, despite showcasing an aggressive defense leading to eight steals and managing ten fast break points indicating potential in transition play, they fell short due to shooting inefficiencies from beyond the arc. This trend continued in their face-off with Nevada Wolf Pack where despite putting up a fight and maintaining close quarters in scoring through most phases of the game; they were unable to clinch victory due to lower field goal percentages compared to their opponents.


Key Factors for Upcoming Game


For UNLV Runnin' Rebels, addressing shooting accuracy especially from three-point range emerges as crucial against Air Force Falcons. Enhancing assist-to-turnover ratio could also play pivotal role ensuring smoother offensive executions. Defensively maintaining pressure without accruing excessive fouls will be essential in containing Falcons’ attempts at building momentum.


The venue itself may offer strategic advantage for UNLV; playing at Thomas & Mack Center where they've historically enjoyed strong fan support could provide additional boost needed against formidable opponents like Air Force Falcons.


As we approach tip-off on February 11th at 10:00 PM EST available on MW Network via internet broadcast fans can anticipate competitive clash filled with strategic depth and athletic prowess from both teams aiming solidify standings within conference.
