Josh Adams is capable of carrying Wyoming, averaging 24.6 points per game, but his status is in question because of a sprained ankle. He is joined in the backcourt by Jason McManamen, who averages 13.9 points. UNLV can match the Cowboys' guards, but Adams is a difference-maker.
The expected return of Stephen Zimmerman Jr. can't be overstated for the Rebels. If he comes back, that will allow other players to spend more time in their more natural positions, such as Derrick Jones Jr. at forward instead of in the middle.
Even if Zimmerman comes back, the Rebels will still be short-handed, especially if point guard Jerome Seagears (right heel) can't play or is severely limited.
