What to Know

The New Mexico Lobos may be playing at home this past Saturday, but the experts are forecasting a 3.5-point loss. New Mexico and the UNLV Rebels will face off in a Mountain West battle at 11 p.m. ET at The Pit. The Lobos haven't won a game against UNLV since Feb. 25 of 2018, but they'll be looking to end the drought.

New Mexico was close but no cigar last Monday as they fell 71-68 to the Fresno State Bulldogs. The losing side was boosted by guard Jamal Mashburn Jr., who had 27 points.

Meanwhile, UNLV was able to grind out a solid victory over the Wyoming Cowboys this past Wednesday, winning 64-57. UNLV's forward Royce Hamm Jr. filled up the stat sheet, dropping a double-double on 17 points and ten boards.

The Lobos suffered a grim 85-56 defeat to the Rebels in the teams' previous meeting in January. Maybe New Mexico will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
