The UC San Diego Tritons have yet to show they can step up against decent competition, and they’ve had issues covering numbers on the road dating back to last season. The Nevada Wolf Pack play their best at home, where they win by an average of 22 points and allow 33.6 percent shooting from the field. Nevada is also one of the better teams against the number. I’ll lay the chalk with the home team.
