Despite efficient shooting from UNLV, turnovers and second-chance points for Nevada proved to be the difference as the Wolf Pack defeated the Rebels 89-76. Nevada guard Corey Camper Jr. led the way with 32 points, while UNLV guard Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn scored 26 points in the losing effort.

Why it matters

The Rebels were able to cut the deficit to five by halftime, but a strong second half from Camper Jr. and the Wolf Pack pulled away for the 13-point victory. Nevada shot an impressive 58% from the field and 57.1% from three-point range.
