How much did Wednesday night’s loss at Wyoming have on the crowd for tonight’s much anticipated showdown with BYU?

None.

Tonight’s game officially sold out and the atmosphere is electric to say the least. So the Rebels have no excuse for a slow start tonight.

The crowd of 18,523 marks UNLV’s first home sellout since Jan. 23, 1993 against Georgetown.
