In their last game against Colorado State Rams, Nevada emerged victorious with a close 77-74 win. Despite being outperformed in assists, they managed to secure more points off turnovers and second-chance points. Their three-point shooting was impressive at 48 percent, which could be a significant factor against UNLV.


The previous game saw an even more dominant performance from Nevada as they overpowered San Jose State Spartans with an 84-63 scoreline. Their field goal percentage stood strong at 53 percent and they excelled in both offensive rebounds and assists-turnover ratio. This level of offensive efficiency will be crucial for their upcoming match.

However, it's not just offense where Nevada shines; defensively, they were able to force turnovers effectively against Wyoming Cowboys leading to a solid win of 76-58. With steals leading to fast break points and maintaining control over turnovers, defense could again play a key role for Nevada.


The Lawlor Events Center has been a fortress for the Wolf Pack this season, providing them with an undeniable home-court advantage that will surely come into play when facing UNLV Runnin' Rebels.
