"Tough pill to swallow." @wyo_mbb competed much better on the defensive end and had a good look at pulling off another buzzer-beater before falling in OT to UNLV on Tuesday. Story 👇 #gowyo https://t.co/7ZQSnpcnCS
Rave reviews for Luis Rodriguez’s behind-the-back assist in the final minute. Kalib Boone: ‘That’s elite. That’s some 2K pass right there.’ Kevin Kruger: ‘Stones is all I can say. It was an unbelievable pass.’ Rodriguez: ‘I don’t do it often, but I believe in myself.’ https://t.co/pwEAQ4MhNA

Final: UNLV 75, Wyoming 69 (OT). Took a little longer than it should have, but Luis Rodriguez goes behind the back to find Kalib Boone for a dunk to put it away in the final minute. Major chutzpah from LuRod to try that pass. UNLV has won 8 of 9. Now tied for third in MWC.
Take the WIN! @TheRunninRebels
