What a weird game. UNLV is scoring at will inside, but Fresno State's skeleton crew just won't go away. Rob Whaley and Kalib Boone have combined for 31 points on 12-of-16 shooting, all deep in the paint. UNLV 62, Fresno State 60 w/ 3:47 left.
In other streak news, UNLV has made its last seven field-goal attempts. Remember, they made 14 straight to close out their win at San Jose State last month. Fresno State still hanging around, though. UNLV 50, Fresno State 44 w/ 11:39 remaining.
UNLV and Fresno State tied at 38 with 15:38 left in the second half. Keylan Boone leads UNLV with 13 points, and the Rebels have 24 points in the paint. BUT the streak is in danger. UNLV is 0-5 from 3, it has made a 3-pointer in 1,215 consecutive games. #UNLVMBB
Fresno State, which comes to Boise on Saturday, leads UNLV 32-29 at the half.
Halftime: Fresno State 32, UNLV 29. Uninspiring start for UNLV, allowing Fresno State to shoot 46.4% while forcing only two turnovers in the first 20 minutes. Offensively, UNLV has just one assists on 12 made baskets.
Keylan Boone is hot early, with six points on 2-of-2 shooting, but four UNLV turnovers have kept Fresno State close. Brooklyn Hicks about to check in; let's see if the freshman can infuse some energy into this one. UNLV 16, Fresno State 11 w/ 10:33 left in first half.
#UNLVMBB leads Fresno State 14-11 with 12:39 left in the first half. Rebels have made 6 of their first 9 shots. Kalib Boone has six points and UNLV has a 7-1 advantage on rebounding.
