Going up against a long quick UNLV team (10-7, 2-2 MW) proved yet again that San Jose State (7-8, 0-3 MW) has a ways to go to reach par in the conference.
In the Spartans’ 81-56 loss, the Rebels were lights out shooting 50% from the field (33-66, 11-22 from three). The Rebels also tallied 23 points off 11 Spartan turnovers.
Head coach Tim Miles did try something new this time around trying to counter the overall struggles since their extended break. Instead of starting with three-guards, Miles started with his three bigs: Trey Anderson, Shon Robinson and Tibet Gorener to try and shake things up.
