ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but UNLV, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Ranked 114th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 18-15. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of 11) in the MWC (average ranking 148.0).

Based on their performances this year, UNLV will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 98 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #105 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. UNLV does tremendous work shutting down the opposition from the inside. They are ranked fourth in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 49.5% of their attempts from close-up. UNLV is also one of the better teams when it comes to not allowing opponents to convert scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.0% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 27th in the NCAA). If UNLV does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 88.71 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks sixth-worst in college basketball.

UNLV plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 110th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UNLV has been generally quite good when shooting the three-pointer. They're ranked 66th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 36.8% of their attempts from there vs. AO. UNLV has also been fairly successful when shooting from the field. The squad is ranked 69th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 45.3% of their attempts vs. AO. If UNLV does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's poor shooting at the line. The squad makes just 62.9% of their free throw attempts, which ranks 16th-worst in Division I.
