UNLV RUNNIN' REBELS NEWS

Isaiah Cottrell - Won't play Saturday Cottrell (foot) was spotted wearing a walking boot Saturday prior to the matchup at San Diego, Steve Cofield of ESPN Las Vegas reports.

Impact Cottrell aggravated his previous injury during or after UNLV's game Nov. 26 versus Life Pacific, and the fact that he was wearing a walking boot suggests he's not ready to return to the court yet. There's no clear timetable for his return and should be considered as doubtful ahead of the matchup against Hawaii next Wednesday.

Impact The sophomore is shooting 53.6 percent from the field through the first six games of the season. Gilbert's growth on the offensive end has been phenomenal as he leads the Rebels in scoring with 16.3 points per game. The 6-foot-4 guard has been letting the ball fly and doing so successfully as he is shooting 63.2 percent from beyond the arc so far. This comes as a surprise since last year he never reached a double-digit scoring game. Expect more minutes and equal production as his confidence continues to grow throughout the season.
