Dakota Gonzalez put on a show in her UNLV women's basketball debut Saturday before 1,622 fans at the Thomas & Mack Center.
That's a small crowd compared with the 12,201 the men's squad drew Friday night, but one prominent bystander took notice of Gonzalez's dazzling 21-point performance.
Superstar rapper Drake was in attendance to witness the Lady Rebels' 79-44 season-opening win against Southern Utah.
Drake is friends with Dakota and her twin sister, Dylan Gonzalez, who are redshirt sophomore guards for UNLV after transferring from Kansas, and showed up unannounced.
"He kinda just popped up on me," Dakota Gonzalez said of Drake, who befriended the Lady Rebels through social media.
