Who's Playing

Wyoming @ UNLV

Regular Season Records: Wyoming 24-7; UNLV 18-13

What to Know

The Wyoming Cowboys and the UNLV Rebels are set to clash at 5:30 p.m. ET March 10 at Thomas & Mack Center in the second round of the Mountain West Conference Tournament. The Cowboys will be seeking to avenge the 64-57 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played March 2nd.

Wyoming came out on top in a nail-biter against the Fresno State Bulldogs on Saturday, sneaking past 68-64. Wyoming got double-digit scores from four players: guard Xavier DuSell (21), forward Graham Ike (16), forward Jeremiah Oden (14), and guard Hunter Maldonado (10). DuSell had some trouble finding his footing against the Rebels when the two teams last met earlier in the regular season, so this was a step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, UNLV came up short against the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday, falling 76-67. Despite the defeat, UNLV got a solid performance out of guard Bryce Hamilton, who had 28 points.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Wyoming is expected to win a tight contest Thursday. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past three games.

Wyoming's win lifted them to 24-7 while UNLV's loss dropped them down to 18-13. Xavier DuSell will be someone to keep an eye on after he had 21 points along with five rebounds on Saturday. Let's see if he can build on that strong performance or if UNLV's defense can bottle him up.
