One and Done For UNLV
- NCAA Tourney
- UNLV
- Mens Basketball
UNLV took on Northern Iowa Thursday night in a defeating loss that really left UNLV stunned. Northern Iowa’s Ali Farokhmanesh took an open long range three pointer in a tied game with seconds remaining at the Ford Center. The three pointer made it leaving a very eerie feeling to the UNLV players and coaches.
With just under five seconds left to play the ball shattered through the net and ultimately spelled the end of a 25-9 campaign for the Rebels, who lost a first-round NCAA Tournament game for the first time in the Lon Kruger era, 69-66. The future is bright for the program, with most of the team coming back next season, along with transfer Quintrell Thomas and 6-foot-11 redshirting freshman forward Carlos Lopez.
