Historically, the Arizona Wildcats have struggled against the UNLV Rebels.
UNLV leads the all-time series 12-8 and is 8-1 against Arizona in Las Vegas. Even when Arizona is great and UNLV is not — see the 2014-15 game — the Wildcats have trouble beating the Rebels.
The two teams will match up again this Saturday in Las Vegas (8 p.m. MST, CBS Sports Network). UNLV is coming off an 11-21 campaign, but appears to be much-improved this year in Marvin Menzies’ second season, opening with a 6-1 record.
It was selected to finish sixth in the Mountain West Conference.
