For anyone not streaming the game on the Mountain West Network, or in attendance, don’t let the final score fool you. At the 16:46 mark of the second half UNLV was only leading the Incarnate Word Cardinals by 6 at 41-35.
It appeared the Runnin’ Rebels were in for a dog fight as their cold shooting was allowing their opponent from the Southland Conference to remain within striking distance.
Fortunately, after only connecting on 2 of 7 from 3-point range in the first half, they would catch fire and hit 7 of 13 from long range in the second half, pulling away to secure a 28 point victory.
