Player to Watch

The player to watch in this game is UNLV guard Jaden Henley. He's coming off an impressive game in which he finished the game tied for the lead in scoring with 13 points. He also managed to rip down nine rebounds, and two steals. All three stat lines were good enough to lead the team. If he can continue to be a major contributor, the UNLV have a strong shot of protecting their home court and upsetting Colorado State to win their fourth in a row against a team they are looking up at in the Mountain West Conference standings.

Game Preview

Colorado State will enter this game as slight favorites on the road. However, UNLV has been red hot and showing why they can not be overlooked as serious threats to anyone they are matched up against. Especially at home where they boast a 10-4 record this season. If they can pull off the big win in this game it will keep them in striking distance of third place in the conference. This is a huge game for both teams and we expect both teams to show up and show out in a major way. We are predicting a very close win by the UNLV Rebels.
