UNLV women's basketball visits the Big Island for the first time in matchup with Hawaii Hilo
HILO, Hawaii — The Lady Rebels are island hopping in the Pacific this week.
UNLV women's basketball (7-1) visits Hawaii-Hilo (4-3) Wednesday, Dec. 7, in the first leg of its Aloha State adventure.
Tip-off is 8 p.m. PT/6 p.m. HT.
It's UNLV's first-ever trip to the Big Island and meeting with the Vulcans.Â
The Vulcans most recently split their opening PacWest games, falling 84-78 in overtime to Hawaii Pacific before beating Chaminade 70-52.
UNLV aims to rebound from its first loss of the season, 75-68 at Pacific, on Dec. 3. The Lady Rebels shot just 17 percent in the first half and trailed by as much as 19 points before scoring 49 second-half points to close within 4 in the final minute.
Under Lindy La Rocque, the Lady Rebels are 12-1 in games following a loss with an average margin of victory of 17 points. Â UNLV is one of the best road teams in the country, carrying a 19-5 record on hostile courts since the 2020-21 season.Â
Fans can also listen to UNLV's live audio featuring play-by-play from Wyatt Tomchek free on Stretch.Â
Part of the NCAA's NET rankings that have replaced RPI as a determining factor in tournament bids and seeding is points per possession efficiency. Through eight non-conference games in 2022-23, UNLV is averaging 111.7 points per 100 possessions compared to 81.0 for its opponents. Last year in non-conference play, UNLV rated 103.7 to 89.3. This is a 22 percent improvement.Â
