UNLV at San Jose State: Key Player and How to Watch Men's College Basketball

The UNLV Rebels saw their three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday when they fell to the Colorado State Rams. They will look to get back on track on Tuesday night when they hit the road to take on the San Jose State Spartans in Northern California.

The Rebels currently sit right in the middle of the Mountain West Conference standings in sixth place with a conference record of 8-8 while San Jose State is currently in eighth place with a conference record of 6-11. The Spartans have also been significantly better on their home court with a home record of 6-7 with a road record of 3-8 while UNLV is just 4-6 on the road and 10-5 at home.

There is no doubt that this is a winnable game for the Runnin' Rebels, however, an inner conference game on the road will always be a hard-fought matchup.
