The Boise State Broncos are the better, more talented team here, but they also haven’t played a game since December 28, so who knows what to expect from this club. The Nevada Wolf Pack have had a layoff as well, but they entered their break playing their best ball of the season, and you could argue they’ll have the best player on the floor for this game. It’s hard to predict how either team will show up given the rest. Give me Nevada and the free bucket.
