Rebels Set to Invade Aztecs' Territory in High-Stakes Showdown

As the UNLV Lady Rebels gear up for their next challenge against the San Diego State Aztecs, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Rebels have been on a tear recently, and their performance on January 13 against the Air Force Falcons is a testament to their prowess. With a decisive 76-64 victory, UNLV showcased their ability to maintain pressure and dominate on both ends of the court.


San Diego State Aztecs VS UNLV Runnin' Rebels

The Lady Rebels' statistics speak volumes about their current form. Their field goal percentage stood at 44 percent against the Falcons, with an impressive showing in two-point attempts at 49 percent. They also excelled from the charity stripe, hitting 74 percent of free throws. But perhaps most telling was their control under the basket; they out-rebounded Air Force by a significant margin with 42 total rebounds.


UNLV's offense has been nothing short of spectacular, as evidenced by their recent home game on January 11 against San Jose State Spartans where they erupted for an astounding 91 points. Their shooting was efficient from all areas of the floor – a scorching hot 63 percent from inside and maintaining nearly half of their shots from beyond the arc.


Defensively, UNLV has shown tenacity as well. In that same game versus San Jose State Spartans, they amassed ten steals and three blocks while forcing turnovers that led to easy fast-break points – an area where they've consistently excelled this season.


However, it would be remiss not to acknowledge that SDSU will be formidable opponents on their home turf at Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl. The Aztecs have demonstrated resilience throughout this season and will look to leverage home-court advantage come January 17th.


The upcoming battle between these two teams is more than just another conference game; it's a statement opportunity for UNLV Lady Rebels who are looking to solidify themselves as serious contenders in women's college basketball this year.


Fans eager to support UNLV can catch all the action live online via MW Network when these two titans clash at Viejas Arena in San Diego on Thursday morning at 11:00 AM Pacific Time.
