UNLV (3–2) faces Maryland (4–1) to close out tonight’s Players Era Festival action in Las Vegas.

Maryland arrives with steadier two-way form, averaging 82.2 points while holding opponents to 73.4 and shooting 43% from the field.

David Coit has emerged as one of the nation’s hottest early-season scorers — 18.4 PPG overall and 41 points in Wednesday’s OT win over Mount St. Mary’s. The Terps defend the arc well, force turnovers (16.4 per game), and get reliable interior work from Pharrel Payne (18.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 71% FG) and Elijah Saunders (10.6 PPG, 5.6 RPG).

UNLV brings the higher-powered offense — 93.2 PPG on 50% shooting — but remains vulnerable defensively, giving up 84.0 PPG with inconsistent perimeter pressure.

The Rebels rely on a deep scoring group led by Dravyn Gibbs-Lawhorn (16.2 PPG), Issac Williamson (17.0 PPG, 47% from three), and Kimani Hamilton (14.0 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 1.4 SPG). Tyrin Jones adds needed interior rim protection (2.2 blocks per game) and rebounding (6.8 RPG).

Prediction

UNLV’s +5 rebounding edge (41.2 to Maryland’s 36.2) and transition scoring give it punch, but Maryland is the cleaner half-court team. Defensive stability should carry them late. Expect a close one.

Projected Final Score: Maryland 81, UNLV 78
