UNLV Rebels Set to Battle San Jose State Spartans at Cox Pavilion in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels prepare to face off against the San Jose State Spartans at Cox Pavilion, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling Women's Basketball game. The UNLV Rebels have been showing a mix of performances recently, but there's reason to believe that they could dominate in their upcoming home game.

Looking back at the December 21st clash against Fairleigh Dickinson Knights, the Rebels secured a comfortable win with 71 points against their opponent’s 59. Their scoring was consistent across all quarters and they showcased an impressive free throw percentage of 100 percent. With such accuracy from the line and a strong presence in the paint where they scored 44 points, it’s clear that UNLV has an offensive edge that could prove vital against SJSU.

However, not all games have gone as smoothly. On December 16th, UNLV faced a tough loss against Seton Hall Pirates with only 54 points to Seton Hall's commanding 84 points. The Lady Rebels struggled particularly from two-point range that day, hitting just over a quarter of their attempts. This inconsistency is something they'll need to address before facing SJSU.

But let’s not dwell on past struggles too much because on December 9th UNLV showed what they are truly capable of when firing on all cylinders. They put up an impressive performance by scoring 92 points while allowing Oklahoma Sooners only 76 in Norman – no easy feat given the Sooners' competitive spirit and home-court advantage.

The key takeaway from these past games is that when UNLV controls turnovers and capitalizes on fast break opportunities – as evidenced by their fast break points tallying up to double digits – they can outpace and outscore any team standing across them on court.

The Spartans should not be underestimated though; every game brings its own challenges and dynamics. It will be essential for UNLV to maintain defensive pressure throughout each quarter while also exploiting any weaknesses in SJSU’s armor.

Rebels fans should mark their calendars for January 10th at Cox Pavilion where tip-off is set for January evening local time (6:30 PM PST). This matchup promises excitement and showcases some of the best talents women's college basketball has to offer right here in Las Vegas. For those who can't make it in person, stay tuned for updates as broadcast networks are yet to announce coverage details.
