The Broncos took an 8 point lead into halftime, but again came out flat in the second half and allowed the Rebels to claw their way back, and eventually overtake them in a sloppy, foul-ridden game in Vegas. The Broncos sluggish second half featured turnovers aplenty (11—with 18 total on the night, a season high) and despite outrebounding the Running Rebels and contributing more points from the bench, the turnovers and lack of points in the paint aided in the Broncos' second conference loss of the season.
Mikey Thompson led all Broncos with 19 points and Paris Austin provided some spark from the bench.
