2 things that could cause us trouble if things go south. unlv has the 18th best 2 point shot defense in the country and they have the 2nd best offensive rebound % in the country.
if there is one downside to how we play defense, we tend to give up a decent amount of offensive rebounds (we haven't been in the top 150 in preventing them since 2013).
things that look good for us, in fact very good. we are 10th in the country at turnover % on defense, they are 340th at TO% on offense. they are terrible at shooting 3's but pretty solid at 2 pointers. we are ok at defending the 3 and pretty solid ourselves at 2 point defense.
we should win, but we definitely can't sleep walk through it.
also the spread will probably be 4-5 points.
