What to Know
Mavericks fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Thursday as the odds are decidedly against them. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face the UNLV Rebels at 10:00 p.m. ET at Thomas & Mack Center. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Last Saturday, Neb.-Omaha was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap as they fell 68-64 to Minnesota. The loss was the Mavericks’ first of the season.
Neb.-Omaha’s loss came about despite a quality game from Kamryn Thomas, who had 14 points plus five rebounds.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored UNLV last Saturday, but the final result did not. They took an 80-74 hit to the loss column at the hands of Memphis. The Rebels got off to an early lead (up 12 with 4:09 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren’t able to maintain that momentum.
UNLV’s defeat came about despite a quality game from Jalen Hill, who posted 14 points plus five assists and five rebounds. What’s more, Hill also posted a 50% three-point shooting accuracy, which is the highest he’s posted since back in November of 2023….
