COLLEGE BASKETBALL — February 6
BYU at UNLV
(UNLV -1.5) — [private] BYU has been on fire for most of the year, but sometimes they run into a road block when they hit the strip. The Cougars have lost six straight games in Las Vegas, and one of the reasons is that they make BYU play at a faster pace than they would like to, leading to some errant shooting. Lon Kruger’s defensive scheme exerts pressure on the opposing team, and Tre’Von Willis was almost impossible for BYU to stop the first time around, nailing nine of 16 shots in the Rebels’ loss at the fortress BYU has in Provo. Note that UNLV has made at least 50% of its shots in each of the last four games.
THE PLAY: UNLV -1.5 ***
