UNLV's taking the loss of 3 double digit scorers from last year a bit harder than we are so far this season. The strength of their team though lies in their frontcourt so it's important we play them tough inside and limit easy chances close to the basket. They're a bad 3-point shooting team (327th in 3 FG%) but they take about 19 3-point attempts/game so ideally we want them chucking it from deep.
They've played all of their games at home so far this year so the fact they've struggled a bit is very encouraging for us. They play in a big arena (17,000 seats) that they can't even halfway fill up (most crowds have been around 7-7.5k) so I don't expect the atmosphere to be too tough to handle.
I think a double-digit win is likely for us but at the end of the day any win would be suitable for a first true road game across 3 time zones.
