NEVADA vs WYOMING PREDICTION PICK

The Wyoming Cowboys dominated Nevada two days ago when they shot lights out from three-point land en route to a big win. Nevada was 4-25(16%) from three-point land in that game which was the main reason for the loss. The Wolfpacks leading scorer Grant Sherfield also struggled by shooting 2 of 16 from the floor and 0 for 6 from three-point range. Wyoming is rated 297th in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency and they won’t be able to hold Nevada to such a poor shooting performance two games in a row. Steve Alford will have the Wolfpack more prepared to defend the three and to take more high-quality shots to bounce back. The Wolfpack will come out strong defensively and with more patience for better shot selection which will give the Under in this game the best chance of coming in. The Bookie is taking the Nevada Wolfpack to cover the spread.
