UNLV guard Ike Nwamu (0) looks to shoot a three-point basket against Oregon during an NCAA college basketball game at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, in Las Vegas. (David Becker/Las Vegas Review-Journal)Hot shooting by Ike Nwamu helped stake UNLV to a big lead. When the margin for error got small, he finished what he started.
"My shot kind of felt good in pregame," he said.
It stayed that way all night. Nwamu nailed five 3-pointers and scored a season-high 19 points to lift the Rebels to an 80-69 victory over No. 16 Oregon on Friday at the MGM Grand Garden.
