LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com)Â -Â After opening its four-game, eight-day homestand with a 72-58 win over Abilene Christian Monday night, the UNLV men's basketball team will host Texas State on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack Center. It will mark UNLV's second game in the Southwestern Showdown presented by Engage Telehealth, a multiple-team event played in round-robin format.
UNLV (2-3) opened the 2019-20 season with an 86-71 win over Purdue Fort Wayne on Nov. 5 then dropped three straight games vs. Power 5 conference teams (vs. Kansas State in OT, at Cal in OT and at UCLA) before getting back in the win column against the Wildcats.
Junior guard Amauri Hardy leads three Runnin' Rebels averaging in double-figure scoring with 19.0 points per game (3rd in MW), while junior forward Mbacke Diong is the team's leading rebounder with 10.6 per contest (5th in MW). In the Runnin' Rebels' win Monday, Hardy led all scorers with 25 points on 9 of 10 shooting. UNLV is under new leadership this year in head coach T.J. Otzelberger.
Texas State (3-2) has wins over Texas Lutheran, Prairie View A&M and Jackson State this season, while its losses are to Air Force and Baylor. Senior guard Nijal Pearson leads the Bobcats in scoring with 17.8 points per game.
Wednesday's game will be video streamed on the Mountain West Network at UNLVRebels.com with Tony Cordasco and Donovan Stewart calling the action.
