Game outlook

On Saturday, February 8, 2025, college hoops betting action will feature a Mountain West Conference matchup between UNLV and Wyoming at Arena-Auditorium in Laramie, WY. In their previous meeting this season, Wyoming emerged victorious with a 63-61 win over UNLV as an 8.5-point road underdog. This time, UNLV opens as a -2.5 betting favorite. For a detailed analysis of this upcoming Rebels vs. Cowboys game and more NCAAB picks for Saturday, continue reading below.

Spread: Runnin Rebels -2.5 (-110) | Cowboys +2.5 (-110)

Total: Over/Under 132 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that UNLV will win straight-up is 60%.

UNLV Runnin Rebels

The UNLV Rebels have faced significant challenges in their recent games, going winless in five consecutive outings and falling to a 5-7 record in conference play. In their most recent game against Boise State, the Rebels suffered a 71-62 defeat and failed to cover the spread. Despite standout performances from players like Dedan Thomas Jr., who averages 16.2 points and 4.7 assists per game, the team has struggled offensively, shooting just 37.9% from the field and 1-for-16 from beyond the 3-point line. With a power ranking of 249 and a current record of 11-12, UNLV ranks 277th in offense, allowing an average of 70.61 points per game defensively. The team has room for improvement in various aspects of their game, such as field goal percentage, rebounding, and turnovers.

Wyoming Cowboys Analysis

The Wyoming Cowboys have had a challenging season with a 4-8 conference record and three losses in their last four games. Despite a recent victory over Utah State, the team has struggled defensively giving up a high number of free-throw attempts and offensive rebounds. Junior guard Obi Agbim is the leading scorer, averaging 17.8 points per game. The Cowboys rank 302nd in offense, averaging 69.09 points per game, and 157th in defense, allowing 70.86 points per game. Overall, they have a power ranking of 227 and are 11-11 for the season. On offense, they shoot 44.54% from the field and 35.51% from three-point range, while on defense they allow 43.83% shooting and 31.93% from beyond the arc. The Cowboys also struggle with turnovers, averaging 13.14 on offense and 10.68 on defense per game.

UNLV Favored to Break Losing Streak Against Wyoming Despite Absence of Obi Agbim

Despite the absence of Obi Agbim, the Cowboys managed to keep the game against Utah State competitive. In the event that Agbim remains sidelined, I predict that the Rebels will emerge victorious over Wyoming. The Rebels' losing streak began with a narrow defeat to the Cowboys, but I anticipate UNLV breaking out of their slump in a closely contested rematch. Notably, four of UNLV's last five losses were by six points or fewer, highlighting the team's competitiveness. Additionally, the Rebels have performed well against Wyoming in recent meetings, with a 4-1 ATS record in their last five encounters and a 5-1 record in their previous six road games against the Cowboys. Overall, I believe UNLV has a strong chance of securing a win in this upcoming matchup.
