UNLV bettors needed overtime for the Rebels to cover against Air Force in the first round of the Mountain West men’s basketball tournament Wednesday.
UNLV
The No. 22 Wolf Pack are 5½-point favorites over the Rebels at most Las Vegas sports books after the line opened at 5.
There was a much-publicized issue involving Richard “The Fixer” Perry after the Review-Journal published a photo of the twice-convicted sports fixer sitting in a hot tub with three members of UNLV’s 1990 NCAA basketball title team.
The Rebels not only blew an 18-point halftime lead over San Diego State — which opened as an 8½-point favorite — but they failed to cover the spread for most backers in Wednesday’s 62-52 overtime loss.
