UNLV handles Boise State

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/23/2012 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chace Stanback drained four three-pointers en route to a game-high 19 points and seven rebounds as No. 21 UNLV took care of business on Wednesday with a 75-58 victory over Boise State.

Brice Massamba contributed 14 points, while Justin Hawkins added 13 points for the Runnin' Rebels (23-6, 7-4 MWC), who snapped a two-game skid. Anthony Marshall donated 11 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.

I'm very proud of our team," UNLV head coach Dave Rice said. "One of the things we talked about before the game was that we felt like we lost a little bit ouf our swagger. The way we felt we could get it back was to play the way we needed to play on the defensive end of the floor."

Thomas Bropleh led the Broncos (13-13, 3-8) with nine points and six rebounds, while Anthony Drmic also added nine points. Boise State had its three-game winning streak snapped.

With the game tied at six early, UNLV used an 11-3 burst to push out to a 17-9 lead with just under 13 minutes left in the opening half. Stanback netted nine points during the run.

Jeff Elorriaga drained a three-pointer to pull the Broncos within five, 17-12, but a Hawkins trey followed by a Marshall slam pushed the Rebels' lead to 22-12 with around 11 minutes to go in the opening half.

UNLV led 41-29 at the break.

Bropleh made 1-of-2 from the line five minutes into the second half to pull Boise State within 49-38, but UNLV responded with a 9-2 run to extend its lead to 58-40 with 12 minutes to play.

A slam by Quintrell Thomas with just over eight minutes left gave the Rebels their largest lead of the game, 66-43, and the Broncos never got close the rest of the way.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
