Clash at Cox Pavilion: UNLV Rebels Host San Jose State Spartans in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the UNLV Rebels prepare to host the San Jose State Spartans at Cox Pavilion, fans can anticipate an exciting encounter in women's basketball. The Rebels have been showing a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, with performances that have both thrilled and concerned their supporters.
In their last game against Fairleigh Dickinson Knights, the Rebels secured a comfortable victory with a score of 71-59. Their offense was efficient, shooting 44 percent from the field and an impressive 100 percent from the free-throw line. Dominating points in the paint with 44 and capitalizing on turnovers with 17 points off them were key factors in this win.
However, consistency has been an issue for UNLV as evidenced by their performance against Seton Hall Pirates just before that. The Lady Rebels struggled to find their rhythm, shooting only 30 percent from the field and suffering a heavy defeat with a scoreline of 54-84. Turnovers were particularly problematic as they gave up possession 16 times which translated into points for Seton Hall.
Despite these fluctuations, there is cause for optimism when looking back at another previous game where UNLV outscored Oklahoma Sooners by putting up an impressive tally of 92 points while maintaining a solid field goal percentage of 50. This high-scoring affair showcased what the team is capable of when firing on all cylinders – efficient scoring coupled with aggressive defense leading to eight steals.
The upcoming match presents an opportunity for UNLV to establish consistency and build momentum moving forward into the season. Playing at home should give them an added boost; Cox Pavilion has been known to rally behind its team fervently.
Fans eager to support their team can catch this thrilling matchup scheduled on January 11th at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas. Tip-off is set for January 10th at 6:30 PM local time (PST).
