What to Know

We’ve got another exciting Mountain West matchup on schedule as the Nevada Wolf Pack and the Boise State Broncos are set to tip at 11:00 p.m. ET on March 5th at ExtraMile Arena. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a five-game winning streak alive.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 12 more assists than your opponent, a fact Nevada proved on Friday. They came out on top against the Bulldogs by a score of 74-66.

Nevada can attribute much of their success to Nick Davidson, who scored 19 points along with six rebounds, and Jarod Lucas, who scored 21 points. Davidson didn’t help Nevada’s cause all that much against Colo. State on Tuesday but the same can’t be said for this contest.

Meanwhile, the Broncos earned a 89-79 win over the Lobos on Saturday.

Boise State got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was O’Mar Stanley out in front who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 13 rebounds. Tyson Degenhart was another key contributor, scoring 23 points.

The Wolf Pack are on a roll lately: they’ve won eight of their last nine matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 24-6 record this season. As for the Broncos, their victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21-8.

Fans should be in for an exciting game on Tuesday as both teams are among the highest scoring teams in the league right now. Nevada hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 76.4 points per game. However, it’s not like Boise State struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 76.4 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

Nevada is hoping to beat the odds on Tuesday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. Anyone thinking of taking them against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn’t covered the last four times they’ve played Boise State.
