UNLV Game Notes Â
♦ A win Saturday against the Falcons would be the 800th in program history.
♦  UNLV has more all-time victories against Air Force then any other school in program history, as the Lady Rebels lead the all-time series 43-5. They have also won 14 straight against the Falcons, tied for their longest win streak against Air Force, and have not lost to the Academy since Jan. 12, 2013, an 81-69 setback in Colorado Springs.
♦  The Lady Rebels will look to their advantage on the boards as they are third in the MW in rebound margin and outrebounded Utah State by 16 Wednesday night. Air Force meanwhile has a -2.6 rebound margin this season.
♦  Air Force struggled at the start, dropping eight of its first nine contests, but have played better as of late, winning two of its last four, including a road league win at UNR, while one of the two losses came in overtime at Long Beach State. The Falcons also played Wyoming, who currently is undefeated in league play, close in losing by just a 65-63 score at home on Dec. 4.
♦ The 2019-20 UNLV Lady Rebel squad are one of the youngest and least experienced teams in the Mountain West this season after graduating four senior starters. UNLV has 10 underclassmen on this year's squad, with seven freshmen and three sophomores, while the four-member senior class had a total of two career starts (as a Lady Rebel) entering the season.
