Green leads Rebels’ 92-64 romp over Incarnate Word
UNLV went into Wednesday’s game without two of its forwards, but the Rebels dominated inside anyway.
Tyrell Green, Cheickna Dembele and Troy Baxter Jr. combined to score 44 points and grab 25 rebounds as the Rebels beat Incarnate Word 92-64 at the Thomas & Mack Center.
UNLV (6-4) bounced back from Saturday’s 49-point loss to Duke at T-Mobile Arena, leading the Cardinals (5-4) fairly comfortably through most of the second half.
The Rebels were without Dwayne Morgan (shoulder) and Christian Jones (ankle), which led to the 6-foot 11-inch freshman Dembele receiving his first start. He used his size advantage to finish with 13 points and seven rebounds.
