UNLV Runnin' Rebels Have "A Slight Edge" Over The Fresno State Bulldogs

The UNLV Runnin' Rebels have a must-win game tonight on the road against the Fresno State Bulldogs. UNLV has dropped three games in a row, and are now looking to get back on track so they are playing their best ball when they reach the Mountain West Tournament. This will be the second time this season that they will play the Bulldogs. Earlier in the season, they beat them on their home court in Las Vegas. While the Rebels have been struggling, they are still sitting ahead of the Bulldogs in the Mountain West standings at 5 - 5, while the Bulldogs are currently 4 - 6.

The latest prediction we are covering comes from Dave Garofolo of Dimers. This is a very different kind of prediction because it's run through a simulator. UNLV fans may prefer the machine's predictions for this game over those of humans.
