The UNLV men's basketball team earned a No. 12 national ranking for the first time in 19 years.
This season, the Runnin' Rebels had their best start since 1992-93, finishing the non-conference season with a 16-2 record.
They've won seven straight games, eight of their last nine.
The team will open the Mountain West conference this Saturday, Jan. 14 at No. 22 San Diego State.
You can watch the game at 1 p.m. PST on NBC Sports Network or listen to it on ESPN Radio 1100 AM/98.9 FM.
The radio broadcast will also be available at UNLVRebels.com.
UNLV has lost five straight games against the San Diego Aztecs, eight of its last nine and three straight in San Diego.
Saturday will be the second straight year the MW will open its conference slate with a game between two teams ranked in the top 25.
UNLV was 25th last year when it hosted 15th-ranked BYU to open the conference season.
