Game outlook

Boise St. is on the road playing Nevada at the Lawlor Events Center stadium on Wednesday, 12/28/2022 @ 10:00pm EST. Nevada -2 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

On Wednesday, the Boise State Broncos (10-3, 0-0 MW) will face the Nevada Wolf Pack (10-3, 0-0 MW) for their first conference win. Following a 73-58 loss to Santa Clara, the Broncos are 1.5-point favorites. The Wolf Pack won 78-66 over Norfolk State as 10.5-point favorites.

The Broncos are trying to bounce back after losing

The Broncos' winning streak of nine games was snapped by Santa Clara. With a win over the Wolf Pack, they will win their 10th game in 11 games after losing to the Vikings. Boise State averages 69 points per game. The last time they played, they scored 58 points and made 34.4 percent of their field goals.

The Broncos were led by Chibuzo Agbo, who had 12 points and three rebounds. In addition to Tyson Degenhart's 11 points and nine rebounds, Max Rice contributed 10 points and five rebounds. With 58.7 points allowed per game, Boise State has played well defensively. To win this game, they will have to score more than 73 points in their last game. The health of Marcus Shaver Jr. (Undisclosed) and Sadraque NgaNga (Leg) is questionable for this game.

A third consecutive victory for the Wolf Pack

After losing to Oregon, the Wolf Pack won two straight games. A win over the Broncos will give them their third consecutive win and fourth in five games. The average point total for Nevada is 70.9. In their last game, they made 49.1 percent of their field goals and 26.7 percent of their three-pointers.

With 23 points and eight rebounds, Will Baker led the Wolf Pack. Jarod Lucas had 17 points and one assist, while Kenan Blackshear had 12 points, three rebounds, and four assists. Despite giving up 65.1 points per game, Nevada has played well defensively. The team gave up 66 points in their last game and will have to repeat that effort if they want to win.

Three of the Wolfpack's last four games have been won at home, and they have won all six of their games at home this season. Their offense has been strong, especially at home where they score more than 72 points per game. Additionally, they shoot well from the free-throw line and find open men efficiently. They are effective at offensive rebounding, which will lead to more scoring opportunities. Moreover, they protect the ball well and won't allow the Broncos to score easily. In this game, the Wolf Pack will have a difficult time slowing down the Broncos, even though they play effectively defensively. Nine of Denver's last 10 games have been wins, but two of them have been splits. They score less than 65 points per game and make less than 40 percent of their shots on the road, where they score less than 65 points per game. They rebound well and will keep this game close. However, they turn the ball over a lot on the road, which will give the Wolf Pack, who average more than six steals per game, easy scoring opportunities.

Boise St. Highlights

With a power ranking of 54, Boise St. is ranked #191 in offense (scoring an average of 71.67 per game), #9 in defense (allowing an average of 57.08 points to be scored against them per game) and are 10-3 (8-4 ATS) this season.

Nevada Highlights
