Watch the Memphis basketball vs. UNLV game today: channel, time, streaming information

Memphis’ basketball game against UNLV on Saturday represents another solid early-season test for Penny Hardaway’s team.

The Tigers (1-0) fought back from a 14-point deficit to beat Missouri 83-75 on Monday at FedExForum. The Runnin’ Rebels (1-0) put four players in double figures in their 93-79 home win Monday over Alabama State at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Kevin Kruger’s UNLV team was picked to finish fifth in the Mountain West and received two first-place votes. Dedan Thomas Jr. and Jeremiah “Bear” Cherry are the team’s headliners, but they have a strong supporting cast, including Julian Rishwain – a sixth-year player who transferred from Florida (after also going to Boston College and San Francisco) – who made four three-pointers in the win of Monday.

Memphis is led by PJ Haggerty, who scored 25 points against Missouri. Tyrese Hunter and Moussa Cisse added 14 each, while Colby Rogers had 10 and PJ Carter dropped 9.
