Nevada Wolfpack Preview

The Wolfpack recently took care of the Sacramento State Hornets 77-63. The Wolfpack were consistent in their pursuit on offense, as they nearly had the same amount of points for both halves.

Last year they went 22-11, and went 12-6 in the MWC. In their conference, they finished fourth on the year, but had several losses in a row to cap off the season.

Their recent performance was on par for what they averaged on both sides of the ball last year. On offense, they rank 175th in the nation for their recent 77.0 points. They were efficient with the ball at a rating of 113.2, ranking 133rd.

On defense, they rank 103rd for their 63.0 points allowed. They also rank 149th for their defensive efficiency with a rating of 92.6. Assuming they can stay consistent, they have a great shot to win.

Washington Huskies Betting Preview

The Huskies have won their first two games and are seeking their third. Their previous win was a 75-67 performance over the Northern Kentucky Norse, where Keion Brooks (27.0 PPG) added 32 points to seal the deal.

They capped off their previous season with a 16-16 record, going 8-12 in the PAC 12 and finishing eighth in the conference. They have a great opportunity to improve upon that season, but must claim slightly easier wins while they can.

They are averaging 83.0 points per game (129th) and have an efficiency rating of 115.3 (112th). This is a huge improvement from last season, but they must keep it up in order to find success.

Their defense allows 62.0 points per game (88th) and has an efficiency rating of 86.1 (96th). If they can keep their opponents down to lower scoring opportunities, they have a great chance to win.

Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick

MyBookie is currently offering the Washington Huskies as slight favorites to win this matchup. According to market insights, the Huskies have a 63.6 percent chance at claiming victory.

This matchup could be close if both teams are able to defend well. However, the Huskies appear slightly better on paper for offense.

The Wolfpack have solid production from Jarod Lucas (18.0 PPG), but it might not be enough to match the Huskies’ Brooks. Look for the Huskies to pull away at home.
