It looks like the Runnin' Rebels are in gear if they execute like they did on Wednesday vs. Pepperdine when bolting to as much as a 38-point lead before settling for an 80-59 win. UNLV would hit 50% from tripleville vs. the Waves, as Kevin Kruger's team continues to prove it has plenty of offense, scoring nearly 82 pg, hitting nearly 48% from the floor and 40% beyond the arc while uncovering a new force around the bucket in bruising 6-11 juco Bear Cherry, scoring at 16 pg and hitting an astounding 86.7% from the floor. Meanwhile, NMSU was routed in its first legit test on Wednesday against Dayton as Jason Hooten looks to fit a bevy of portal adds around returnee G Christian Cook (14.3 ppg). Play UNLV
