UNLV set to renew rivalry

Walking into the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah, it is easy to see why Brigham Young is so successful in this building.

Even though the building is only about half full five minutes before tipoff, it is loud.

The massive student section is making most of the noise. It accounts for about 20 percent of the arena, and there is not an empty seat to be found.

UNLV enters its game against BYU having been blown out in this building the last two seasons.

If they would like to win tonight (and hand the Cougars just their second loss in their last 57 games in the Marriott Center), Wink Adams is going to have to continue to show that his abdominal injury is progressing back to full strength.

He started to look like himself again in the win over Wyoming, but this is a completely different situation.
