Coming off a pair of hard-fought losses to the only undefeated teams left in league action, the UNLV women's basketball team hopes to continue its strong play and remain in the top half of the conference with a pair of wins this week, beginning with Thursday night's contest at Air Force.
Thursday's game will tip off at 6 pm (PST) in Colorado Springs, Colo. UNLV will then travel to New Mexico for a showdown in The Pit on Saturday night, in what looks to be a key game for both squads, at 6 pm (PST). The game against the Lobos will complete a three-game road swing for the Lady Rebels.
Based on its history this season, the Lady Rebels will be due for a win, as they have yet to win or lose more then two straight games. The conference season began with a loss at TCU, but UNLV then won two straight, including an upset win at home over Wyoming, before falling to Utah and BYU in its last two contests.
UNLV will face a team on Thursday that it has had great success against in Mountain West play, holding a 13-1 record against Air Force in the eight-year history of the league. The Lady Rebels will look to keep down a Falcon offense that has scored over 60 points just once in MWC action, while Air Force will be facing a team that has held its last four opponents to just 53.3 ppg and 33.3% shooting from the floor.
One strength for UNLV is its rebounding, which features the top rebounder in the MWC in Faye Muller, who is also ranked 17th in the nation with 10.4 boards per game.
