UNLV has some talent, but it seems like the whole has been less than the sum of the parts so far. Jalen Hill and Kalib Boone were multi-year starters at OU and Oklahoma St, respectively. Luis Rodriguez and Isaiah Cottrell were occasional starters at Mississippi and West Virginia. Shane Nowell is an Arizona transfer. Dedan Thomas was a top recruit and has been one of the better freshman point guards so far this season. However, Nowell has been out with an injury, and Hill missed the last game (and probably will miss more) with a wrist injury. Keylan Boone (Kalib's twin brother) is also a good player, but is waiting for an NCAA ruling on his eligibility after transferring for the second time.
UNLV has been especially bad at defending the 3-point line this season. The Jays should be able to handle them as long as they avoid a CSU-like shooting performance.
