Rebels Set to Charge at Rams in Fort Collins Showdown
As the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Lady Rebels gear up for their next challenge against the Colorado State Rams at Moby Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Rebels have been on a tear lately, and their recent performances suggest that they might just have what it takes to conquer the Rams in their own den.
Looking back at UNLV's last game on December 30th against Utah State Aggies, it was a scoring bonanza where they put up an impressive 107 points. Their offense was firing on all cylinders with a field goal percentage of 52 and an even more remarkable two-point shooting percentage of 65. Not only did they dominate offensively, but their defense also stepped up with seven steals and three blocks. This kind of all-around performance is exactly what will be needed when they face CSU.
The Lady Rebels' ability to capitalize on turnovers has been particularly noteworthy; in that same game against the Aggies, UNLV scored a staggering 41 points off turnovers. If this trend continues, CSU will need to be wary as any slip-ups could prove costly.
However, not every game has been smooth sailing for UNLV. On December 16th against Seton Hall Pirates – ranked no less than number 23 at the time – the Lady Rebels struggled with only a field goal percentage of 30 and were outrebounded by almost double digits. That loss should serve as a reminder that consistency is key if they want to maintain their winning ways.
UNLV's resilience will be tested by CSU's home-court advantage and fervent fan base in Fort Collins. But if history serves right, UNLV has shown that they can rise to the occasion under pressure.
The upcoming battle scheduled for January 6th at noon promises excitement and high stakes as both teams vie for victory early in the year. Fans eager not to miss any action can tune into MW Network online for live coverage from Moby Arena.
With momentum on their side and lessons learned from past games fueling them forward, UNLV stands ready to take center stage once again – this time hoping to leave Fort Collins victorious amidst cheers from Rebel supporters far and wide.
