UNLV uses tough defense and upbeat tempo to build a huge lead in the first half. Eric Williams Jr. (16 points, 14 rebounds) led four USD players in double figures.
It was the toughest test yet for Steve Lavin’s University of San Diego men’s basketball team.The final score was 95-78, but the game never felt that close. The visitors from Sin City used a combination of active defense, a relentless fast-break attack and crisp shooting to roll to a 24-point first half lead, never looking back.The Toreros shot 46.
“We like to play great defense and then run,” UNLV guard Elijah Parquet said. “It’s simple basketball really. Good defense feeds our offense.” A possession with just less than eight minutes remaining summarized what kind of night it was for USD. McCabe and Justin Webster then knocked down consecutive 3-pointers. And with just less than five minutes to go, the Rebels executed a textbook pick-and-roll and alley-oop pass that saw McCabe dish to Elijah Parquet, who finished with an emphatic one-handed slam dunk.
