Nevada Basketball opponent preview and prediction: UNLV Rebels

The Nevada Wolf Pack tip-off a four-game-in-seven-day stretch on the road with intrastate rival UNLV on Tuesday in Las Vegas, Nev.

UNLV is fresh off a dominant 88-74 win over the Colorado State Rams, one of the best teams in the Mountain West, ending its 13-game home win streak that dated back to the end of last season. Nevada, however, is on the complete end of the spectrum morale-wise; Utah State eviscerated the Wolf Pack over the weekend, 78-49, thwarting any plan of a Nevada win within the game’s first 15 minutes.

The Rebels currently sit at 12-9 with a 4-4 Mountain West record.
