The Rebels are 77th in the nation in points scored per game (76.1) and it has been solid three-point shooting leading the way as UNLV is 103rd in three-point percentage (35.7%). That number has been slightly better in the MWC with their points-per-game average slightly lower in the conference (74.1). However, 74.3 points allowed per game within the Mountain West has made it difficult for this team to make ground. They are 81st in the KenPom ranking.
