How To Watch: Saint Joseph's Hawks @ UNLV Runnin' Rebels: Thursday, November 20

Game Preview

The UNLV Runnin' Rebels men's basketball team is now sitting at 2 - 2 after a big win over the Memphis Tigers on the road by a score of 92 - 78. Next up, the Rebels will host the Saint Joseph's Hawks at the Thomas & Mack Center on Thursday. UNLV is a team that has looked like a completely different team in their two wins compared to their two losses. If the good version of the Rebels shows up, they should dominate this game; however, if the other version of the team shows up, they look like they can be beaten by anybody.

Hopefully, Josh Pastner is starting to get this team on track as far as consistency goes. This is an almost completely new roster, with a new head coach, and they've dealt with a lot of injuries. So, early-season inconsistencies were always a likelihood, but it would be great to see them string together two wins in a row, and more importantly, two well-played games.

The Hawks are also 2 - 2 this season, but they have dropped their last two games. They will look to get back on track in this game after struggling with their shooting in their most recent loss to the Pennsylvania Quakers. They need to tighten up both their offense and defense after being outshot in their last game 38% to 45% from the field, and 29% to 44% from beyond the arc. If Saint Joseph's doesn't play significantly better than they have been the past few games, they are going to struggle against the Rebels on Thursday night.
