ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to stay with Nevada. The Wolf Pack are coming off a nice win over a decent SJSU team, and they’ve now scored 66 or more points in six straight outings. Nevada is 5-1 in that time. These teams last played each other back on February 10 at Lawlor Events Center. The Wolf Pack took that one 77-66 thanks to a 43-34 second half. I’d like to see Nevada start stronger this time but all things considered I think they’ll be fine cover-wise.
