UNLV is technically the underdog in this game, but they were playing on their home court, so shouldn’t they have a little bit of home court advantage right? Wrong. This is the Mountain West Tournament and there is no such thing as home court advantage.
The Rebels started off slow by getting outscored by Wyoming 11-4 within the first six minutes of the the first half. After Donovan Williams made two free throws for the Rebels, Wyoming went on a 7-0 run. UNLV’s next points came Bryce Hamilton dunk with 7:33 seconds left in the half.
The Cowboys went up by 13 after the Hamilton dunk.
