This game is being held in Las Vegas, which is one of the main reasons UNLV is the favorite tonight.
These 2 teams split the 2 games they faced each other with each winning at home.
The Rams stumbled late in the conference season losing 3 of 4 games, but they regrouped and won their last 2 games of the regular season. [ad-6571516]
Both teams are solid scoring ones and each ranked in the top 10 in the nation in rebounds per game.
UNLV is led by stud freshman Anthony Bennett (16.1 ppg 8.1 rpg), who leads the Runnin Rebels in scoring and rebounding. He scored 23 points in the win over Air Force, but in the win over CSU at home he only had 8 points. UNLV has a balanced team that has 6 players that are averaging at least 7 ppg.
CSU is led by 6’10” F/C Colton Iverson (14.4 ppg 9.6 rpg) and he will need help on offense tonight, as 2nd leading scorer Dorian Green is doubtful for tonight’s game with an ankle injury.
Iverson and Pierce Hornung (8.9 ppg 9.3 rpg) will have to score inside tonight and hit the boards and their offense will be key, especially since Green will likely not play in this game.
In some betting trends for this MWC semifinal game UNLV is 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and they have an Under record of 5-1 in their last 6 games.
Colorado State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games, 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. win, and they have an Over record of 5-0-1 in their last 6 games.
Jason’s Pick: The Rams will struggle with Green out facing a solid and deep UNLV team and at home the Runnin Rebels will win and cover.
