SERIES HISTORY
Nevada and UNLV have long been rivals on the court but UNLV has had Nevada's number over the years, winning 32 of the previous 40 contests, which includes a perfect 18-0 home record.

LAST TIME OUT (L, 65-59 vs. Colorado State)

EYEING THE 1,000 POINT PRIZE
Senior guard T Moe is on the cusp on reaching 1,000 points in her Wolf Pack career. Moe, who is in her sixth year with the program after battling multiple knee injuries over the years, has scored 875 points. If Moe reaches the 1,000-point mark, she will be the 13th player in program history to do so.

HOME SWEET HOME
Lawlor Events Center has been kind to the Wolf Pack over the years. Through 12 home games this season Nevada sports an 8-4 record. Since the women's basketball team started playing in Lawlor in 1994, the Pack is 204-150 at home.

SEEING DOUBLE
Senior Teige Zeller has been a double-double machine this season, collecting her seventh of the year last Wednesday night at Fresno State. The New Mexico native scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, which led her to nine straight games scoring in double figures. The double-double Wednesday night was the 10th of Zeller's career, which means she has more than doubled her double-double output from her previous three seasons.

BY THE NUMBERS
0 - Wins over UNLV that Nevada has in Las Vegas.
7.5 - Nevada's current point total in this year's Governor's Series.
8 - Wins needed for Amanda Levens to become the winningest first year head coach in Nevada women's basketball program history.
