UNLV Rebels Set to Host Utah State Aggies in Women's Basketball Showdown at Cox Pavilion
As the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Rebels prepare to welcome the Utah State Aggies to Cox Pavilion for an exciting women's basketball game, fans are anticipating a competitive matchup. The Rebels have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, which sets the stage for an intriguing contest.
In their last game against Seton Hall at Walsh Gymnasium, the Lady Rebels struggled defensively and offensively, scoring only 54 points while allowing 84. Their field goal percentage was just 30 percent with a three-point shooting rate of 33 percent. They also had issues with turnovers and fouls that contributed to their loss.
However, looking back two games ago against Oklahoma Sooners at Lloyd Noble Center, UNLV showcased a more potent offense with an impressive 92 points scored and a solid field goal percentage of 50 percent. Their performance in the paint was particularly strong with 56 points scored inside and they managed to secure a victory despite committing as many turnovers as they forced.
The third recent game saw them playing on home turf against Arizona Wildcats where they emerged victorious with 72 points. The Lady Rebels shot better from the field at nearly 44 percent and were more disciplined on defense compared to their latest outing.
Cox Pavilion has been kind to UNLV; during their last home game there against Arizona Wildcats, they capitalized on home-court advantage by maintaining control throughout the match without any lead changes or ties. They will be looking forward to replicating that level of dominance when they face off against Utah State Aggies.
Fans can expect UNLV to focus on improving ball security and reducing personal fouls while trying to exploit their strength inside the paint where they've been effective previously. With fluctuating performances recently, consistency will be key for them if they wish to secure another win at Cox Pavilion.
The upcoming clash is scheduled for December 30th at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas starting from nine o'clock in the evening local time (21:00). Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network channel number two hundred twenty-one.
