So far, UNLV has had an unsurprising start to the season. Three games down and three games won. However, the only true quality opponent that UNLV faced in these early season tests was Cal Poly.
Maybe more surprising to their start are some of the individual performances by both new and returning players. Maybe you have heard the name "Derrick Jones" who has, arguably, the best dunk of the year in college hoops? Then, there's Patrick McCaw who recently scored a career high 24 points.
UNLV has the make-up of a championship contender.
