I hear these Larry Johnson and Stacey Augmon kids are pretty good, right?
UNLV
Mascot: Runnin Rebels
Record: 5-0
KenPom Rank: 91
Good news / bad news here for the Gophers. The bad news is that UNLV is pretty good, with really good scoring guards. The good news is that we have Jamison Battle back for his second game of the season, presumably after shaking off the rust in the Cal Baptist game.
But what do we have to do to get a win?
KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN
Perimeter defense - I knew that UNLV had 3 really strong guards, but then I went to look at their KenPom profile and saw that this team is #1 in the country in percentage of points that come from three.
