What you need to know about Fresno State

Fresno State just couldn't get things going in a big conference matchup with Colorado State last Friday, and ultimately lost to the Rams 65-50 on the road. Guard Isaiah Hill is the team's second-leading scorer, but had a rough game, with only seven points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 36 minutes on the court. Robinson scored 24 points and hit 56.3 percent of his shots, but no other player reached double-digits on offense in the Bulldogs' most lopsided loss of the year.

For the season, Robinson is one of the top rebounders in the conference, and he pulls down 8.2 per game. Anthony Holland has been a force under the glass as well, with 6.3 rebounds per contest. They'll have to bring their A-games on Wednesday, as UNLV has been the second-best rebounding team in the conference. However, Fresno won the battle on the boards in their previous meeting, 30-26, due in large part to Robinson coming away with 11 in the win.

What you need to know about UNLV

UNLV was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last Friday as the Rebels fell 69-63 to Boise State. Hamilton still finished with a solid game, and had 32 points along with five rebounds. The only other player to reach double-figures was guard Michael Nuga, who had 12 points and four rebounds in the loss.

Despite the defeat, UNLV was able to hold Boise to making just 20 percent of its three-point attempts. For the season, Rebels opponents hit just 32 percent of their shots from beyond the arc. Perimeter defense should work in UNLV's favor on Wednesday, as the Bulldogs have hit just 32.8 percent of their shots from downtown this season.
