UNLV is 13-4 all-time against the Spartans in San Jose.
LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - Â Following a pair of Mountain West victories at home, including Wednesday's 10-point victory over Air Force, the UNLV Lady Rebels are now seeking their first MW road victory of the season as they face the San Jose State Spartans Saturday at 2 pm in The Event Center.
There will be a live video stream of the contest on the MW Network while the radio broadcast will feature the call of Adam Candee. Both the video stream and the radio broadcast can be accessed at UNLVRebels.com.
UNLV Game Notes
♦ The Lady Rebels have won three straight in the series against San Jose State, and hold a 32-6 lead in the all-time series between the two, including 13-4 in San Jose.
♦ San Jose State has been known for a fast paced, high scoring offense, but a young squad this season has struggled at times, as no Spartan is averaging in double-figures. As a team, the Spartans are averaging a program-low 60.7 ppg under fifth-year head coach Jamie Craighhead.
♦ UNLV has been showing marked improvement on defense in conference action, holding three of its past four opponents to under 58 points.
♦ A win Saturday would keep the Lady Rebels in at least a tie for fifth place in the league standings, as Wyoming is also 2-2 on the season (and is hosting New Mexico this weekend).
♦ UNLV is not a team reliant on the three-point shot, as the Lady Rebels attempted only five three-pointers in the win over the Falcons Wednesday. They made one of their five attempts, pushing the streak of consecutive games with a made three-pointer to 124.
