Breaking down the UNLV basketball team’s game at San Diego State at 7 p.m. today:
BACKCOURT
The Rebels will start four guards, and they will need to be effective from outside for UNLV to have much of a chance. Those players certainly are capable of doing that. San Diego State starts one guard, but Trey Kell averages 16.1 points against Mountain West teams.
Edge: UNLV
FRONTCOURT
Losing Derrick Jones Jr. is a killer for UNLV. That puts tons of pressure on Stephen Zimmerman Jr. to get the job done in the middle.
