Montana Upsets UNLV 102-93 in Las Vegas

The setback highlighted UNLV’s defensive lapses under first-year coach Josh Pastner.

Overview

  • Montana’s Money Williams led the Grizzlies with 30 points and eight assists in the road win.
  • The Grizzlies shot 55.4% from the field, went 24 of 27 at the line, and won the boards 38-31 with five players in double figures and 18 assists.
  • A 10-0 burst to open the second half pushed Montana ahead 57-45 and provided the separation needed to control the final stretch.
  • UNLV’s issues included porous defense and a 17-of-27 night at the stripe, partially offset by Dravyn Gibbs-Lawhorn’s 26 points.
  • Pastner said the Rebels must get tougher and settle their rotation as UNLV falls to 1-2 and visits Memphis on Nov. 16; announced attendance was 5,553.
