Lady Rebels looking for 4th 3-0 start under KO...
UNLV will be looking for its fourth 3-0 start in the past eight years under head coach Kathy Olivier, and first since 2011-12 as it hosts UC Irvine on Saturday afternoon. The Lady Rebels have been impressive out of the gates this season, using quick starts to fuel 35 and 20-point victories. UNLV is also hosting a free pre-game clinic before the game at 12 pm, go to Aunlvwomensbasketballcamps.com for more info.
Their opponent on Saturday, the UCI Anteaters, are 1-1 on the season. The teams haev one opponent in common as well, as UCI won at Southern Utah 63-58 on Thursday night. The Lady Rebels meanwhile routed SUU 79-44 in the season opener on Nov. 14 in the Thomas & Mack Center.
UNLV is spreading the scoring around, partly due to its nine-player rotation. Four players are averaging double-figures, and a total of seven players are posting at least 7.5 points per game. The post combo of Aley Rohde and Amie Callaway are especially effective, with Rohde averaging a double-double of 11.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, while Callaway is right behind her at 10.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
UNLV owns the all-time series 28-4, and are 16-1 against the Anteaters in Las Vegas. The lone UCI win on the Lady Rebels' home court came on Jan. 21, 1996.
