RUNNIN’ REBELS AT WYOMING SATURDAY AFTERNOON
UNLV will face Cowboys at 3 p.m. PT on CBS Sports Network
The UNLV men’s basketball team is looking for its first Mountain West victory of the season as it continues its two-game road trip through the Front Range. After playing just one game in a two-week span, the Runnin’ Rebels dropped a close one at Colorado State (66-65) on Wednesday night. They also lost a close game at home to Fresno State (69-66) on Dec. 30 to open conference play.
Next up will be a game at Wyoming’s Arena-Auditorium (11,445) against the Cowboys on Saturday, Jan. 9 at 4 p.m. MST/3 p.m. PST.
UNLV (9-6, 0-2 MW) went 9-4 during its non-conference season, playing three top-15 teams. The Runnin’ Rebels went 2-1 in such games recording wins vs. then-No. 13/14 Indiana at the Maui Invitational and vs. then-No. 15/16 Oregon at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The loss was at then-No. 13/12 Arizona.
Wyoming (8-8, 1-2 MW) won its first MW game of the year on Wednesday night at home, defeating Air Force (64-52). The Cowboys lost their first two conference games this year (at San Diego State – 67-55; at Nevada, Reno – 71-68) after going 6-6 in non-conference action against countable NCAA opponents.
Saturday’s game will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network with Rich Waltz and Steve Wolf calling the action.
