What to Know

The Nevada Wolf Pack lost both of their matches to the UNLV Rebels last season on scores of 58-69 and 54-62, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season. The Wolf Pack and UNLV will face off in a Mountain West battle at 10 p.m. ET Saturday at Thomas & Mack Center. The point spread is more or less neutral, so fans should expect a close game.

Nevada came out on top in a nail-biter against the New Mexico Lobos on Monday, sneaking past 97-94. Nevada's center Will Baker was one of the most active players for the team, picking up 28 points along with five boards.

Meanwhile, the Rebels didn't have too much trouble with the Wyoming Cowboys at home on Tuesday as they won 86-72. UNLV's guard EJ Harkless looked sharp as he had 28 points in addition to eight rebounds.

The wins brought Nevada up to 16-5 and UNLV to 13-7. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Wolf Pack come into the contest boasting the seventh fewest steals given up per game in college basketball at five. But the Rebels rank ninth in college basketball when it comes to steals per game, with 9.7 on average. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
