Into the MW Tourney it will host again next week, UNLV has curiously caught fire That's without leading scorer and offensive catalyst Dedan Thomas has been out, but the Rebs have stayed afloat because of conscientious defense (which has been on display much of the year) and the offense seems to be functioning just fine. Maybe even benefitting without the high ball-usage of Thomas, sharing the ball more effectively with ex-DePaul Jaden Henley running the offense and scoring at a 21 pg clip in the win streak. The Lobos have been involved in some scraps the past few weeks, and barely escaped with a 75-73 win at Thomas & Mack on January 25. There's enough cushion here to back the Rebs. Play UNLV.
