The Aggies got the sweetest of revenge in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Conference Tournament this afternoon, handily disposing of the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels by the score of 80-60.
My game ball will go to junior shooting guard Mason Falslev. Falslev scored a team-high 24 points, hitting 10 of his 16 shots from the field, knocking down his only free throw try, and stroking 3 of 5 shots from behind the three-point line. He pulled down 1 offensive rebound and 8 defensive boards for a team-high total of 9 rebounds on the night. He also dished out 3 assists and swiped 3 steals.
Falslev currently averages 16.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game.
The Aggies will now await the winner of the University of Nevada and Grand Canyon University game. The winner will advance to face the Aggies on Friday, March 13th, in the semi-finals of the Mountain West Conference Tournament in Las Vegas
