It has become a common theme around UNLV’s basketball team, this game-by-game analysis by others of Chris Wood. Of his production and attitude and effort and whether that eating motion he makes after sinking a 3-pointer is really necessary or, well, just another level of self-serving folly.

In the middle of a promising season, Larry Nance Jr. reinforced his worth by disappearing. A mild case of mononucleosis shut him down, doing what no defense could do.

Cox Pavilion is a midrange jumper from the Thomas & Mack Center, but there was more pushing of the ball and guarding of the dribble and running of set plays in the small gym Wednesday night than we have seen in the big arena of late.
UNLV won its fifth game in a row and seventh in the past eight, beating Utah State 69-61. Danielle Miller and Alana Cesarz combined to score 39 points for the Lady Rebels.
The wheels fell off the Rebels on the defensive end of the floor Tuesday night against Utah State, and the result was a technical knockout in their first double-digit loss of the Mountain West season.
