What to Know
The Nevada Wolf Pack haven’t won a game against the Wyoming Cowboys since Feb. 25 of 2020, but they’ll be looking to end the drought this past Saturday. The Wolf Pack and Wyoming will face off in a Mountain West battle at 8 pm ET at Arena-Auditorium. Neither Nevada nor the Cowboys could muster much offensive firepower in their last games, so look to the defense to decide this one.
Nevada came up short against the UNLV Rebels last Tuesday, falling 62-54. One thing holding Nevada back was the mediocre play of center Will Baker, who did not have his best game: he finished with only nine points on 4-for-10 shooting in his 25 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, Wyoming was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap this past Wednesday as they fell 61-55 to the Colorado State Rams. Wyoming’s loss came about despite a quality game from guard Drake Jeffries, who shot 6-for-15 from downtown and finished with 22 points and seven boards.
The Wolf Pack are expected to lose this next one by 7. True fans might be the only ones betting on them, currently 8-17 ATS, to cover the spread.
With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. We’ll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
