Who's Playing
Southern @ UNLV
What to Know
The UNLV Rebels and the Southern Jaguars will face off at 10:15 p.m. ET November 7th at Thomas & Mack Center to kick off their 2022 seasons. While UNLV was not exactly top dog last season, they did wrap up the year with a winning record of 18-14. Southern is in much the same boat after finishing their last year at 17-14.
A couple last-season stats to keep an eye on: The Rebels were 17th best (top 5%) in steals given up per game, finishing the 2021-2022 season giving up only 5.1 on average. But Southern ranked third in college basketball in steals per game, closing the season with 10.5 on average. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
UNLV has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. A win is hardly a sure thing, especially this early in the season, so expect a good game.
