Both teams bring impressive resumes into this contest as Kansas State is off to an 8-1 start to the season while UNLV is unbeaten in 7 games. This game is at the much smaller Orleans Arena and could provide an edge to the hometown Rebels who have practiced on this court that covers the ice rink used by the minor league hockey franchise. UNLV has gotten balanced scoring and unselfish play in the early going with several scoring options always on the court. UNLV's depth should be the deciding factor in this competitively priced contest and given the fine outstanding play by the hosts and the well established coaching prowess of Lon Kruger, the home team should prevail by from 5 to 8 points.

Both teams are "Go WIth" teams this season and although Siena may have the more visible profile nationally, Northern Iowa is every bit as established a basketball program. At 6-1 they are off to a fine start to the season with wins over instate rivals Iowa and Iowa State plus wins over DePaul from the Big East and Boston College from the ACC. Siena has started 6-3 but all 3 losses were when they stepped up in class and faced less than elite teams Temple, Georgia Tech and St Johns. They do not have a noteable win to date this season. As such the edge goes to the more proben host who has long demonstrated a solid home court and an ability to step up in class against major conference competition. While Siena is a mid major (Metro Atlantic Conference) its reputation should have Northern Iowa focused and they will not take Siena lightly. As such I look for Northern Iowa to win by from 7 to 10 points.
