Cox Pavilion Showdown: UNLV Rebels to Host Utah State Aggies in Women's Basketball

As the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels prepare to host the Utah State Aggies at Cox Pavilion, fans are bracing for what promises to be an electrifying encounter in women's basketball. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 30th, is set against a backdrop of recent performances that suggest a tough competition ahead.


Utah State Aggies VS UNLV Rebels

The UNLV Rebels have had a rollercoaster ride in their past games. Their most recent outing on December 16th at Walsh Gymnasium was not one they'd want to remember, as they fell short against Seton Hall with a score of 54-84. The Lady Rebels struggled with their shooting accuracy from the field and beyond the arc, hitting only 30 percent and 33 percent respectively. Despite converting free throws at an impressive rate of 73 percent and scoring 20 points in the paint, it wasn't enough to overcome Seton Hall's dominant performance.


However, looking back at their game on December 9th against Oklahoma Sooners provides a more promising perspective. Scoring an impressive 92 points while maintaining a field goal percentage of 50 shows that when the Lady Rebels find their rhythm, they can be unstoppable. Their ability to score points off turnovers and capitalize on second-chance opportunities were key factors in securing that victory.


The matchup with Arizona Wildcats on December 3rd showcased UNLV's defensive capabilities as well. They managed to out-rebound Arizona by a significant margin and turned those rebounds into valuable second-chance points.


While statistics from previous games provide insights into potential strategies and outcomes for future matchups, it is important not to overlook the Utah State Aggies' capabilities coming into this game. The Aggies will undoubtedly come prepared with strategies aimed at exploiting any weaknesses shown by UNLV in past performances.


Fans should expect UNLV to focus heavily on improving their shooting efficiency from all areas of the court while also tightening up defensively after giving up too many easy baskets against Seton Hall. With home-court advantage and lessons learned from previous encounters this season, there is reason for optimism among Rebel supporters.


The anticipation builds as fans await tip-off at Cox Pavilion on December 30th at precisely nine o'clock PM Eastern Time (6 PM Pacific). For those unable to attend in person but eager not miss any action can tune into CBS Sports Network channel two hundred twenty-one where every dribble pass shot will be broadcasted live nationally ensuring no one misses moment this thrilling contest between two formidable opponents women’s college basketball.
