The UNLV Lady Rebels women's basketball team is coming off a tough loss to the New Mexico Lobos, dropping them to 9-2 in Mountain West Conference play and 14-7 overall. They now trail the first-place San Diego State Aztecs by 1.5 games in the standings. Next up for the Lady Rebs are the Colorado State Rams, who sit in third place in the conference. The Rams are 8-3 in Mountain West play and 17-5 overall, but are looking to bounce back after having their four-game winning streak snapped by San Diego State in their last outing.
