At the most critical stage of UNLV’s young season, Oscar Bellfield felt the heat of the spotlight. He was cool and clutch, the sophomore guard performing the role of a star.
UNLV had every chance to give up Saturday, to accept the finality of the Mike Sanford Era by slinking out of Sam Boyd Stadium with another loss.
