Harris Scores 29, Nevada holds off Rival UNLV 82-79 in OT

February 19, 2020 By Sparks Tribune 3 Comments

LAS VEGAS — Jalen Harris scored 29 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and dished five assists and Nevada defeated rival UNLV for the sixth straight time, pulling out an 82-79 win in overtime on Wednesday night.

Harris made the first of two free throws with 3.8 seconds left but Elijah Mitrou-Long’s shot from well behind the 3-point line bounced off the backboard as time expired.

After Harris, the leading scorer in the Mountain West Conference, hit the go-ahead jumper with 1:21 to play, Bryce Hamilton missed on two possessions for the Runnin’ Rebels. It was Hamilton’s jumper with 27 seconds to go that tied it in regulation and the game went to overtime after he rebounded Harris’ last-second miss.

It was UNLV’s program record sixth overtime game this season.

Harris’ overtime miss at the free throw line made him 11 of 15 from the foul line where the Wolf Pack were just 18 of 28 (64%). However, UNLV was worse, making 12 of 25.

Jazz Johnson added 19 points and Nisr Zouzoua 12 for Nevada (16-10, 9-5 Mountain West Conference.

Hamilton led the Runnin’ Rebels (12-14, 7-6) with 23 points. Amauri Hardy and Jonah Antonio added 14 apiece.

Nevada played at New Mexico on Tuesday.

    Horse Race Tracks

    Are ghost towns

    The amount of money being bet on horse races is booming

    But

    The actual number of people going to horse race tracks is at ghost town levels

    The internet has made it very easy to bet on horse races

    I can bet on any horse race in America an Canada at a push of a button in the comfort of my home

    Golden Gate Fields, California

    Saturday is the busiest day in horse racing

    It use to be 10,000 people going to the track on saturdays at golden gate fields.. Last saturdays on track attendance was 300 people

    However

    The amount of money bet on the horse races that day was $4,000,000

    97% was bet using the internet

    Will Golden Gate Fields horse race track go out of business due to very low track attendance

    No

    Not when $4,000,000 is bet each day at the track from internet betters

    The track use to be open 4 months per year, 5 days per week

    Now its open 11 months per year, 4 days per week, due to the internet
    _____________

    Its time to sober up

    I’ve got to be at the Atlantis Casino tomorrow for Vice-President Pences rally

    My drinking went out of control today watching those 8, 100 year old victorian homes being eaten by a T-Rex machine in 20 minutes next to Circus Circus. New development

    It was like being at the burning man festival
