UNLV at Dayton
(NCAAB) Rebels (UNLV) vs. Flyers (DAY),
Point Spread: -10.50 | -115.00 Flyers (DAY) (Home)
Result: Loss
We're still looking for the same ornery UNLV that we saw a year ago. The departure of the Boone brothers and versatile G Luis Rodriguez have robbed Kevin Kruger's side of versatility and consistency. Trying to accommodate plodding 6-11 juco Bear Cherry has slowed the offense, and Cherry has been held to single-0digit scoring his last four outings. Too much burden is being placed on soph G Dedan Thomas to create offense, and the Runnin' Rebels are underachieving, dropping five straight and seven of eight vs. the line. Meanwhile, Anthony Grant's The Flyers, 8-2 vs. the line, reminded again on Saturday that it is a team to reckon with this season when downing 6th-ranked Marquette 71-63 at the UD Arena, rallying from 13 down to score another emphatic win.
