3 takeaways from the UNLV Rebels-San Diego State game
SAN DIEGO — Three takeaways from the UNLV basketball team’s 77-64 Mountain West loss to San Diego State on Sunday at Viejas Arena:
1. THIS IS NO LONGER A RIVALRY
The UNLV-San Diego State series used to be the Mountain West’s best and most intense, but that was before the Aztecs began to dominate. Now at 10 San Diego State victories in a row (the past four by double digits), the rivalry is, at best, on life support.
Hard to imagine this rivalry even meant much to the Rebels who played Sunday. None of them had suited up for UNLV at San Diego State, so there was no personal history to go on.
