The UNLV women’s basketball team is back in Las Vegas — though the Lady Rebels won’t be on their familiar Cox Pavilion home court when they play Wyoming at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

UNLV will play its third game of the season at the Thomas & Mack Center and its final one there until the Mountain West tournament.

Wyoming is 15-3 with a Mountain West-leading 7-0 record, which includes a 77-57 victory over the Lady Rebels in Laramie in late December.

The Cowgirls, led by Liv Roberts’ 15.9 points per game, have won 12 straight games and haven’t lost since late November.

The Lady Rebels are 13-6 and 4-3 after splitting their past two games — losing at San Diego State and winning at Air Force.
