Pacific at UNLV

UNLV bounced back from a season-opening loss to Loyola Marymount and won and covered its next two games against Cal Riverside and Oakland University. The Runnin' Rebels shot 52.5 percent against the Grizzlies and Amauri Hardy came off the bench to spark the Rebels by hitting five of six shots and finishing with 12 points while Shakur Juiston scored a team-leading 18 points with 10 rebounds. Pacific is 3-1, including a 22-point loss to Nevada before beating Cal State Stanislaus and Idaho State. This will be another tough road matchup for the Tigers, who lost last year's meeting 81-76 at home. Pacific is just 2-5 ATS over its last seven games versus Mountain West teams and it's a small underdog in this one. The home court and UNLV's improved defense, which is allowing opponents just a .385 field goal percentage gives the edge to the Rebels. Give the points and take UNLV.
