UNLV (4-1) heads to Tempe on Thursday for a showdown with Mississippi State (5-0) in the Arizona Tip-Off at Mullett Arena, with tip-off scheduled for 9:30 PM ET. The last time these two teams clashed was in 2013, when UNLV claimed a comfortable 16-point victory.
The Runnin' Rebels enter the contest fresh off a 72-65 home triumph over New Mexico State. Despite the win, their offensive performance was somewhat middling, as they hit just 36.0% of their field goals (18-of-50) and 33.3% of their three-point attempts (6-of-18). However, they made up for it with an aggressive approach, earning 42 trips to the charity stripe.
