For the first time since 2012-13, the UNLV Rebels have completed the season sweep over the Nevada Wolf Pack, earning the 62-54 victory Tuesday in front of 9,148 fans at Lawlor Events Center in Reno, Nev.
Nevada struggled once again down the stretch, an ever-so plaguing problem that’s plagued them throughout the season.
It conjured together just two baskets (on nine attempts) over the game’s final seven minutes, one of which included a wide-open dunk in the game’s final seconds. The Rebels fashioned a 12-3 run from the 6:27 to the 1:23 mark — a five-minute, four second span — to evidently secure its third consecutive Quad 1 or 2 victory of the season.
