UNLV started the day in fifth place in the Mountain West Conference with a 6-4 record. But with a good week, the Rebels could find themselves in second place a week from tonight.

The Rebels, who host Colorado State in a few minutes at the Thomas & Mack (no TV), travel to Wyoming (3-6 going into tonight’s game at San Diego State). Then they host BYU (7-3) here next Saturday night.

Meanwhile, New Mexico (7-3) plays at BYU on Tuesday night and hosts San Diego State (7-3) next Saturday.

Depending on how things shake out, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Rebels at 9-4 and the Lobos, Aztecs and BYU all 8-4 by the end of the day next Saturday. That’s if UNLV can take care of business tonight against the Rams tonight, win on the road at Wyoming and then keep their Thomas & Mack magic alive against the Cougars next Saturday.

Stay tuned.
