Breaking down the UNLV basketball team's game against UNR at 7 p.m. today at the Thomas & Mack Center:
BACKCOURT
UNR's Marqueze Coleman averages 16.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. But the Rebels are deeper in the backcourt, and if their guards push the ball, they probably win.
Edge: UNLV
FRONTCOURT
UNR won the rebounding battle 41-34 when the teams met in January, and that was when UNLV still had post players Stephen Zimmerman Jr. and Ben Carter before each suffered a knee injury. UNR's Cameron Oliver had 20 points and 24 rebounds last Saturday against Fresno State.
