Bryan Leonard's 4* Mountain West Conference Game of the Year!

805/806 San Diego State at UNLV

The Rebels really struggle against physical athletic squads which was very evident in their two losses to USC and Kansas State. The Aztecs are the type of team that UNLV dreads, and it's shown in their recent meetings. San Diego State won all three match-ups with the Rebels last year including two wins on this court. Steve Fisher recruits a certain type of player to fit into his system and he always has the most athletic squad in the conference. San Diego State has won 7 of the last 10 games in this series and there is no way they should be an underdog of this magnitude tonight.

The Aztecs are off an embarrassing loss at Wyoming where they blew a double digit lead against the Cowboys. With only a home date with TCU on deck you know this is a statement game for the visitor.

UNLV is off an impressive win in The Pit against New Mexico, but they suffer a letdown here. This is just a bad match-up for the Rebels and the Aztecs exploit it.
