Both UNLV and Colorado State have some pretty drastic home\/away splits this year. The Runnin\u2019 Rebels are 16-0 at home and 5-6 on the road. <\/p>\n
NCAA Basketball Matchup: UNLV vs. Colorado State Matchup<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Preview<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Colorado State is 13-1 at home and 2-9 on the road this season.<\/p>\n UNLV won the first meeting between these two 82-63, but this time they must travel to Fort Collins.<\/p>\n Dave Rice has had the Rebels pick up the pace again this year. They aren\u2019t like the 1990 UNLV Rebels or anything, but this is a team that likes to get out in transition when given the opportunity. UNLV showed how dangerous it can be when it took down North Carolina earlier this year.<\/p>\n This is a team with tons of athleticism all over the floor. Mike Moser is the favorite to be Mountain West Player of the Year. Moser is a 6\u20198 forward who averages 14.2 points and 11 boards per game. He can step out and shoot it from beyond the arc, and he is a great passer from the post.<\/p>\n Chace Stanback shoots 48% from three-point range, and he is the team\u2019s second leading scorer at 13.6 per game.<\/p>\n Anthony Marshall and Oscar Bellfield are both great distributors in the backcourt. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Colorado State lost its second home game of the year to Southern Miss, and they haven\u2019t lost at home since. The Rams are led by veteran point guard Wes Eikmeyer. Eikmeyer averages 15.9 points per game. Dorian Green is the team\u2019s most versatile player.<\/p>\n Green can take it to the rim with authority, but he can also shoot from outside. He is shooting 44.6% from beyond the arc this year. As a team Colorado State shoots an impressive 41% from three-point range. They also knock down 77% of their free throw attempts.<\/p>\n The challenge for this team will be to get back defensively and force UNLV to run a half court offense rather than getting fast break points constantly.<\/p>\n The Rebels haven\u2019t been good on the road this year, and Colorado State needs this game in a big way if they want to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive.<\/p>\n
