In the 84-58 loss, the Tritons made 40.4% of their field goals, 33.3% of their 3-pointers, and 75% of their free throws.

In this season's home games, the Wolf Pack hopes to improve to 5-0

Nevada has won three of its last five games, most recently losing to the Oregon Ducks 78-65 on Saturday. They will enter this home contest against the Tritons rested and recharged after a few days of rest. The Wolf Pack shot 33.3% from the field against the Ducks, making just 25% of their 3-pointers and 100% of their free throws. Kenan Blackshear (20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 35.7% FG) and Jarod Lucas (16 points, 1 rebound, 38.5% FG) led the Wolf Pack with 36 rebounds, 14 assists, and six steals. Oregon made 45.8% of its field goals and 40.7% of its deep shots.

The Wolf Pack's offense ranks 160th this season, averaging 73.4 points per game while shooting 42.3% from the field. Their opponents shoot just 37.8% from field goal range (19th), while they surrender 64.8 points per game (90th). With 151 assists and 116 turnovers, Nevada has an assist/turnover ratio of 1.30 (58th). Lucas leads the Wolf Pack in scoring with 17.2 points per game while making 39.7% of his field goals and 41% of his 3-pointers. Williams leads the team in rebounding, averaging 6.9 rebounds, 7.5 points, and 1.6 steals per game. Blackshear is averaging 13.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Wolf Pack's defense should play a big role in this game. Their opponents score 64.8 points per game while keeping their field goal percentage low. Currently, Nevada's defense is allowing their opponents to shoot 37.8% from field goal range, and with the Tritons' offense already struggling, I expect Nevada's defense to expose them. With their scoring leader averaging 17.2 points per game, Nevada averages 73.4 points per game. Furthermore, Lucas and Blackshear are coming off strong performances against the Oregon Ducks, so anticipate more big performances against UC San Diego. The Wolf Pack's defense stopped the Tritons and the offense got hot early on.

UC San Diego Highlights

With a power ranking of 291, UC San Diego is ranked #313 in offense (scoring an average of 65.89 per game), #276 in defense (allowing an average of 72.89 points to be scored against them per game) and are 4-5 (3-5 ATS) this season.
