Cox Pavilion Hosts UNLV Rebels and New Mexico Lobos in Women's Basketball

As the UNLV Rebels prepare to welcome the New Mexico Lobos to Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, fans can anticipate an intense matchup. The Rebels have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, displaying both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their latest game against Fairleigh Dickinson Knights, the Rebels secured a victory with 71 points to 59. Their offensive execution was notable with a field goal percentage of 44 and an impressive free throw completion rate at 100 percent. Dominating the paint, they scored 44 points inside and capitalized on turnovers by adding another 17 points to their tally.

However, consistency has been a concern for UNLV as evidenced by their performance against Seton Hall Pirates just days earlier. Scoring only 54 points compared to Seton Hall's commanding 84 points highlighted some defensive lapses. Their field goal percentage dipped significantly to just 30 percent and turnovers were high at 16 – matching the number of points they allowed off those turnovers.

Despite this setback, the Lady Rebels showed great resilience and offensive firepower in an earlier game against Oklahoma Sooners where they notched up an impressive scoreline of 92-76. They shot efficiently from both two-point (56 percent) and three-point range (33 percent), while also maintaining control on defensive rebounds.

The upcoming game at Cox Pavilion presents an opportunity for UNLV to leverage home-court advantage – a factor that could prove pivotal given their recent form swings. Fans should look out for how well the team manages ball possession and whether they can replicate their high-scoring offense seen against Oklahoma.

The match is scheduled for January 20th at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tip-off is set for local time (22:00 UTC). Fans eager not to miss any action can follow along through various broadcast networks or attend live if possible.
