After the Wolfpack, the Rebels look like a squad that puts their pants on one leg at a time. The Lions need a competitor at a level more like us right now. We are on the road, but I’m betting that the Lions will be favored.
Hopefully Issanza will be able to play, Wright will find his game and McBride will get more aggressive on offense. I like our chances.

Gametime: Saturday, Dec 9, 7 pm in Las Vegas.

UNLV’s game scheduled for Dec 6 was cancelled after the recent violent incident on campus.

[LIONS90045]

Rebels are favored by 2.5.

$19.99 for video is too rich for me for one streaming game. I’m hoping the Lions will provide radio coverage but my first look at the link on the LMU website directed me to “real time stats.”

[mmlion93]

I’m at the game and Leaupepe is not dressed☹️

[LIONS90045]

Is he with the team? Keli that is?
KXLU is broadcasting the game.

[mmlion93]

Yes but not dressed

[LIONS90045]

Announcers said shoulder injury for Keli.

It's clear to me who we should play through, not sure why he comes off the bench... but Glad he plays a lot. Would've had 16 at half minus two missed free throws. I hope we can finish strong and get a decent MWC win. 

[nbdlion22]

It’s official we don’t practice or run any plays during the week. We look terrible

[dedicatedlionfan]

Pulled out that win!!! Mistake filled, but a win is a win

[thebluff]

Solid Win! Something to build off of! Big shoutout to Harris and Merkviladze, without Keli! 

[boothlion]

Nice win, the record will say it was a neutral site but it really was a home game for UNLV. I don’t think the loses/lessons from the Cayman Islands have stuck. I hope getting beat by Nevada as bad as we did has resonated with the team. I think Harris summed it up in the post game interview, team’s got to remain focused for the whole game. This game we had nice runs but we never delivered the knock out, which has happened a few times this season. I liked the amount of time Harris, Juice, and Wright had on the court together tonight. I know Keli being out (hope he recovers quickly) allowed for that and some games we will need the size but it was good to see. Alex one rebound shy of a double double and good for Aaron on getting the start just didn’t seize the full opportunity but it’s a step.

This UNLV team is about to beat #8 Creighton by about 20, definitely makes the lions look better

[boothlion]

Be prepared for some interesting upsets the next few weeks because of today’s court ruling allowing two time transfers immediate eligibility. Bet UNLV liked they were able to play Keylan Boone. We might remember him from Pacific last season.
