UNLV Game Notes Â
♦  Thursday's outcome can have a factor in who the Lady Rebels will play in next week's quarterfinals. If UNLV wins, they will play the Spartans once again, as they would drop to the fourth seed. If SJSU wins, and Wyoming loses at home to Fresno State, then UNLV would play Wyoming in the 4-5 matchup.
♦  Senior Rodjanae Wade is having a tremendous final season for the Lady Rebels, as she currently ranks first in the nation in offensive rebounding (5.2 rpg) and is third in double-doubles (19).
♦  UNLV is winning off defense, as the Lady Rebels are currently third in the MW in scoring defense, fourth in field goal percentage defense as well as No. 13 in the nation in three-point field goal defense. UNLV is also leading the league in rebound margin for the fifth straight season.
♦  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.
