UNLV Rebel Yell · Dec 28, 2017
UNLV closes non conference play 11 for 2
With wind speeds as high as 40 to 50 mph outside the Thomas and Mack Center, the same gusts seem to swirl inside. One could hypothetically say it dismantled the core of the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils basketball team on the famous Tarkanian Court.
After close to three weeks on the road, the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels were eager to see that red carpet rollout. The welcome home sure paid off.
From the tipoff, the No. 351 ranked Delta Devils never really stood a chance. Not even former alum and Super Bowl champion, Jerry Rice, could miraculously save the day with his patented one-handed Hail Mary catch.
Despite numerous turnovers in the first half, UNLV still managed to destroy MVSU, 95-63.
