Jordan McCabe - Plays 16 minutes McCabe ended with three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and three assists over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 78-70 OT win over Air Force.
Impact Despite being part of UNLV's starting lineup Wednesday, McCabe was limited to far less than half of the game's 45 minutes. Unfortunately for him, it is likely Keshon Gilbert (suspension) is made available when UNLV and Boise State play each other Thursday, thus demoting the spot starter down UNLV's pecking order again.
