UNLV only had 8,000 fans at the KSU game because it was played at the Orleans arena which has a capacity of 8,000 seats.

I know you guys took it to Utah and were competitive against BYU but those are rivalry games to you, no? I hope you bring that intensity our way.

Good luck to you guys. But not too much luck (like 14 threes type luck lol)...

Fans at the Mack are going to be loud and hungry for another W. Expect about 11-12,000 yelling, chanting, hyped up Rebel fans going nutty.
 
Looks like we both beat SUU by 18. UNLV was only up by 1 at half, I think we were up by as many as 25, and went into the lockeroom up by 18. We hope to hang in there, and give you guys a run for your money especially if Lillard and Session play well. If Session can continue to D up and Lillard take charge and drive to the basket, we should continue to rebound as well as we have it should be a fun game.
