There are three big games going on in the world of Mountain West sports on Saturday, two basketball games and one football games.

North Carolina looks to avenge loss in Las Vegas to unranked Rebels last season Saturday when UNLV comes to Chapel Hill. In a little bit of role reversal, UNLV - not North Carolina - will be the ranked team in the matchup.

The latest college basketball rankings feature two Mountain West teams in San Diego State and UNLV. 12-0 Wyoming is still not ranked, and New Mexico fell off the map after losing to South Dakota State.

In what will be Khem Birch's first game as a Runnin' Rebel, UNLV takes on UTEP, looking to continue their win streak on the road in El Paso.

UNLV junior Mike Moser dislocated his elbow in the first half of the Runnin' Rebels 76-75 win over Cal Sunday afternoon. His status is unknown, but speculation is that he could be out a month.

The California Golden Bears are coming off a 25 point beat down loss to Wisconsin and are going to be looking to avoid losing their second game in a row when the 21st ranked UNLV Runnin' Rebels come to town.

UNLV forward Mike Moser has ben bothered by a hip flexor, and it is not clear if he will play against Cal.

San Diego St., UNLV and New Mexico all moved up in the AP and Coaches polls Monday but the upstart Boise St. men's basketball team is getting all the attention (deservedly) from the Monday bloggers at CBS Sports, NBC Sports and ESPN.

Led by the Boise St. Broncos and New Mexico, the Mountain West Conference managed a couple of top 25 wins and had some other high profile wins in November. But the conferences' credentials in March depend on more quality wins in December.

UNLV faces steep step up in competition after early season victories over Jacksonville State and Northern Arizona
