UNLV vs Fresno State Betting Prediction
UNLV comes into this game on a four game winning streak and they beat Fresno State by a score of 78-69 on January 30th. Fresno State has won two games in a row, but both wins came against the bottom two teams in the conference. The Bulldogs are only scoring 69.4 points per game, but they are shooting 47.6% from the field. UNLV is rolling right now and I think their offense is going to be too much here. Take UNLV on the road.
