The Aggies uncharacteristically dropped their second-straight Mountain West Conference game of the season, falling to an unusually aggressive UNLV Runnin’ Rebels squad 76-86.
My game ball will go to true freshman WING Adlan Elamin. Elamin was second on the team in scoring with 15 points, hitting 6 of his 12 shots from the field and knocking down 1 of his 2 attempts at the free throw line, and stroking 2 of 5 shots from 3-point land. He pulled down 1 offensive rebound and 3 defensive boards for a game-high total of 4 rebounds on the night. He also dished out 1 assist and swiped 2 steals. Elamin currently averages 6.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game.
The Aggies will now hit the road once again on Saturday, January 23rd, when they meet the Colorado State University Rams for the second time this season.
