Boise State vs Nevada Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup struggling in their last two games, but Boise State will have the home-court advantage here. The Broncos are shooting 47.9% from the field and they are scoring 77.7 points per game this year, but their defense has struggled recently, allowing at least 75 points in three of their last four games. Nevada has also lost two games in a row and they scored just 50 points in their last game. The Wolf Pack are also shooting around 47% from the field, but they have been the better defensive team over the last five games. I don’t like how either team is playing right now, but Nevada has lost two games in a row by at least 19 points. Take Boise State at home.
