FRESNO, Calif. — Tuesday's game at New Mexico was the first test for UNLV's new reality.
The Rebels were forced for the first time to go with a four-guard set for much of that basketball game, and after an 87-83 loss to the Lobos, UNLV's coaches have a better sense of what to expect.
It's a still a work in progress, though, as the Rebels (13-10, 4-6 Mountain West) prepare to meet Fresno State (14-8, 5-4) at 4 p.m. today at the Save Mart Center. The Rebels are 1½-point favorites in the game, which will be streamed on ESPN3.
