UNLV preview: 'We meet again'

These Rebels still want to play fast. UNLV will shoot quick shots, which usually plays into the Illini's hands, provided the Illini don't allow second-chance baskets. The Rebels have made at least 10 three-pointers in three games. "They truly are the Runnin' Rebels. They come at you fast," Weber said. "They score a lot of points, nearly 80 a game. It's going to be our job to slow them down. They can hit those threes in barrages and really take it to you."
