UNLV trailed 50-39 about midway through the second half and looked headed for a loss, but the Rebels went up for good on a pair of free throws by Jerome Seagears at the 1:21 mark and escaped with a 64-61 win.

But what's really important is the first edition of What Was That, Blaine Fowler?

Blaine:

"He can throw it down any way but loose!"


* Overall, a great night for Basketball Phrases/general nonsense from both Fowler and play-by-play man Trey Bender:

"Injury bug"
"Glue guy"
"There's a teaching moment"
"Special talent"
"Muscle attitude"
"Sense of urgency" (said five times)
"Recipe for success"
"The bank is open"
"Dog fight"
"Heady play"
"Active feet"
"Heartbreak hotel for UNLV"
