LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - Coming off a 79-77 overtime win at home against Utah State last Saturday and a 67-62 victory at Nevada, Reno on Tuesday night, the UNLV men's basketball team will return home to the Thomas & Mack Center to host Air Force on Saturday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m.

After losing three straight games - at Boise State on Jan. 13 in overtime (82-73), at San Diego State on Jan. 17 (53-47) and vs. New Mexico (71-69) on Jan. 21 - UNLV has now won two in a row.

Sophomore forward Christian Wood has 11 double-doubles this year, which ranks 11th in the country, and has averages of 14.3 ppg (second on the team, 8th in MW), and a team high of 9.5 rpg (2nd in MW, 26th in the country) and 2.6 bpg (3rd in MW, 25th in the country). Freshman forward Goodluck Okonoboh leads the team and the league in blocks with 2.9 per game (13th in the country, 2nd among all freshmen). Senior guard Cody Doolin leads the squad and MW with 4.1 apg and has an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.2, which leads the conference and is 14th nationally.
