Pacific Tigers Betting Preview
The Tigers just recorded their first win on the season, which was a 87-79 outing over the California Golden Bears. This was the end of an 11-game losing streak against the Golden Bears, as Donovan Williams (18.5 PPG) dropped 23 points to push them along to victory.
They finished a bit below .500 last year with a 15-18 record (7-9 in WCC). They have a similar start and stays that are comparable to last season, which might not bode well for their success.
So far, they are averaging 72.0 points per game and rank 242
nd
in the nation. Their offense ranks 305
th
in an efficiency rating of 94.7. This shows that they are a little sloppy and do not have as many scoring opportunities.
The Tigers give up 71.5 points a game and rank 210
th
, which is not a lot of breathing room. They also rank 146
th
in their defensive efficiency with a rating of 94.1.
Nevada Wolfpack Betting Preview
The Wolfpack are coming off of an 83-76 victory over the Washington Huskies. Kenan Blackshear (22.5 PPG) was a huge compliment to their success, as he delivered 31 points that night.
They went 22-11 last year and 12-6 in the MWC, while finishing fourth overall in the conference. They already had similarities in their stats compared to last season, so this should help paint a good picture.
They average 80.0 points per game (141
st
) and have an efficiency on offense with a rating of 112.7 (130
th
). This is a solid attempt and it has room for improvement.
The Wolfpack are allowing 69.5 points per game (176
th
) and have an efficiency on defense at a rate of 97.9 (186
th
). This is slightly more appealing than their offense, which could be the difference in the game.
Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick
MyBookie has the odds for this battle, with the Nevada Wolfpack as moderate favorites to win. Looking at market analysis, the Wolfpack have a 93.0 percent chance at winning.
The Tigers finally had an outburst on offense when they played the Golden Bears, but they nearly gave up 80 points as a result. They cannot allow the Wolfpack to have that ability to reach that, especially with Blackshear having two big games to start the year. Look for the Wolfpack to win and potentially cover the spread.
Spooky Express Pick: Nevada Wolfpack -12.5 (-110)
