Preview: Nevada Wolf Pack at UNLV Runnin’ Rebels LAS VEGAS (Interstat) — The UNLV women’s basketball team looks to complete a regular-season sweep of in-state rival Nevada when the teams meet in a Mountain West Conference matchup Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center. The Runnin’ Rebels (17-9, 8-5 MW) enter the contest holding a firm upper hand in the standings, while the visiting Wolf Pack (8-18, 3-10) seeks to salvage a split and snap a four-game losing skid. UNLV defeated Nevada 62-57 in Reno on Jan. 24, a game in which Rebels standout Meadow Roland recorded a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Roland, a dynamic force for UNLV, enters Saturday’s game averaging 21.2 points over her last three contests. She is coming off an 18-point performance in an 80-62 loss at San Diego State on Wednesday. For the season, she has been a consistent contributor, posting six double-doubles and anchoring the Rebels on both ends of the floor. Nevada, which fell 70-59 at Colorado State on Wednesday, will look for a spark from guard Maia Rosarion. The sophomore has shown flashes of high scoring, including a 16-point effort in 18 minutes against the Rams and a 14-point game against San Diego State last month. Her production off the bench will be critical for a Wolf Pack offense averaging just 59.2 points per game. UNLV has dominated the series at home in recent years and holds a significant advantage in conference positioning. A win would bolster its seeding for the upcoming Mountain West tournament. Nevada, meanwhile, is playing for pride and momentum, aiming to disrupt its rival’s plans and build confidence for its final three regular-season games. The game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. PST tip-off. Following this contest, UNLV will travel to face Colorado State on Wednesday, while Nevada will host San Jose State on Feb. 25.
