Pick

I’m backing Nevada here. The Spartans have been a solid cover team for us for much of the year, but the problem here is that Nevada had their number rather handily this season and in the conference tournament, I don’t see much changing to that trend. The Wolf Pack are the more complete team and the number isn’t bad considering the dominance that Nevada had this season. I’ll gladly lay the points with Nevada here.
