The Runnin' Rebels are coming off a record sixth overtime game this season, as they played another close one vs. intrastate rival UNR, losing 82-79, on Wednesday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Junior forward Mbacke Diong is the team's leading rebounder with 8.3 per contest (4th in MW). UNLV is under new leadership this year in head coach T.J. Otzelberger.
New Mexico (17-9, 6-7) is in its third year under its head coach, Paul Weir. The Lobos have lost four of their last five games but are 14-1 at home this season. UNM is led in scoring by JaQuan Lyle's 16.1 ppg.
UNLV won the season's first meeting, 99-78, in Las Vegas on Jan. 18.
