Recent Trends and Performance


The UNLV Runnin' Rebels have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. A notable victory came against Nevada's Wolf Pack, where they secured a win with a scoreline that reflected their dominance on both ends of the court. The team showcased an impressive defensive effort coupled with efficient scoring, leading to a 13-point margin victory. This performance was characterized by high efficiency from free-throw lines (95 percent accuracy) and significant contributions from bench players.
