The No. 1 seed UNLV Lady Rebels women's basketball team dominated in their first Mountain West Conference Tournament game on Monday with a double-digit victory over the Boise State Broncos at the Thomas &  Mack Center. Now they turn their attention to the No. 4 seed San Diego State Aztecs, who are coming off a 10-point win of their own over the New Mexico Lobos.

This is the rubber match for these two teams, who split their two regular season games. On January 25, the Aztecs won a close 59 - 58 game in Southern California, then on February 12, UNLV won in a 75 - 65 blowout in Vegas. This time, the winner moves on, and the loser goes home.

She will look to stay hot on Tuesday night when UNLV looks to take another step towards a tournament championship and an automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament.
