UNLV Game Notes | ="">Wyoming Game Notes

Lady Rebels Looking For First League Win... It's been a tough four-game stretch for the Lady Rebels, as they have suffered four straight single-digit losses to top-150 RPI squads, including two in conference play. UNLV will look to break that streak on Saturday night, when it hosts the Wyoming Cowgirls at 7 pm.

Saturday will also feature a pre-game clinic before the game, which is open to girls and boys in grades 2-5. The clinic will start at 5 pm, and registration information is available at www.unlvwomensbasketballcamps.com.

All fans coming to the contest on Saturday should also be aware that Disney's Frozen on Ice will be held at the Thomas & Mack Center at the same time on Saturday night, so Lady Rebel fans are encouraged to show up early to avoid any possible delays at the ticket window, where a separate line will be set aside. Also, fans are encouraged to park in the parking deck on the Tropicana side in the TMC parking deck.

The first three losses in the streak came at the end of a month-long, six-game road swing. The fourth, an eight-point loss to conference favorites Colorado State, came just five hours after starting center Aley Rohde was injured in shootaround, leading her to miss the contest. Rohde is not only the second leading rebounder in the conference at 9.6 per game, she also ranks sixth in the nation in offensive rebounds per contest. With the senior currently in a day-to-day status for her return to the court, the Lady Rebels will need to find a way to fill her void in the post after being held to just 22 points in the paint while losing the rebound battle to the Rams.

Wyoming meanwhile comes in with a 9-4 mark and have won six of its last seven games. Only two of those wins however came over teams with a winning record, and both were on the Cowgirls' home court.
