Breaking down the UNLV basketball team's game at New Mexico at 5 p.m. PT Tuesday:
BACKCOURT
The burden will be on UNLV's guards to push the ball down the court. But New Mexico will want to do the same, and the Lobos have scored more than 80 points in the past three games. Elijah Brown, who averages 20.3 points per game for the season, was the Mountain West player of the week after averaging 23.5 against Air Force and Boise State and making 52.2 percent of his shots. He also hit on 61.5 percent from 3-point range.
