UNLV (18-6, 6-4) is hunting for a big-game victim as No. 6 San Diego State (24-1, 9-1) rolls into the Thomas & Mack Center for a 5 p.m. start Saturday that is expected to draw a sellout crowd.
The Lady Rebels made things interesting at the end but couldn’t overcome big nights from Texas Christian’s top three players in a 71-64 Mountain West Conference loss Wednesday at Cox Pavilion.
As the guard who oversees UNLV’s offense, Oscar Bellfield is aware that something has gone terribly wrong.
The Tre’Von Willis-Jimmer Fredette rivalry was born when they were competing for Mountain West Conference player of the year honors last season (which Fredette won). The two since have traveled in opposite directions.
UNLV should at least try something different Saturday than what it offered Jan. 5, when BYU star Jimmer Fredette scored 39 points and the Cougars pasted the host Rebels 89-77.
