At 10:30pm ET, my December Game Of the Month is on UNLV. The Runnin' Rebels have dropped 3 games in a row. Those losses are excusable though. The first game against a tough SEC (Mississippi State) opponent. The Rebels would have preferred a better result but there was no shame in losing that one. The next loss was the very next day agains a Big Ten (Northwestern) team. It was close but playing 2 difficult games in 2 days was too much and the Rebels lost by 5. The last loss was on the road against Creighton, one of the better teams in the entire country. Those 3 teams are 8-1, 7-3 and 7-3. Losing all 3 wasn't the end of the world. It does mean that the Rebels will be feeling some urgency tonight though. Pacific isn't anywhere close to what the Rebels have been dealing with. The Tigers are already 0-5 on the road and those losses came by an average of 16.8 points. This will mark their 3rd straight road game and that is starting to take a toll. The Rebels have another relatively difficult game (road game at Dayton) on deck and will absolutely make sure that they win convincingly tonight. Lay the points.
