Fresno State at Nevada (-9) - 7:00pm Pacific - Game #743-744
The Wolfpack played two of their best games of the season last week winning at New Mexico State by 9 and at Louisiana Tech by 12. Future NBA 1st round pick F/C McGee continues to be a force scoring in double figures 15 of 19 games this season. Freshman guard Armon Johnson (18.75ppg last four) is maturing and emerging as a dynamic offensive weapon. The Wolfpack still have sixth year senior G/F Kemp who can make big plays at anytime. Depth and bench production has improved considerably in recent weeks led by the return of senior guard Burleson at semester break. Nevada is on a 31-3 run at home. Fresno State rallied from 7 down with just over a minute to play to force OT but then blew a four point lead with 15 seconds left to lose in heartbreaking fashion on Monday. They now must go back on the road which included a 6+ hour bus ride in inclement weather from Fresno to Reno on Wednesday. Fresno's depth has dwindled so much this year that they have now pulled two redshirts off of players. The Bulldogs have played considerably worse on the road this year going just 2-8 with only wins coming at lowly Winston Salem and La Tech. Most recently they lost by 13 at Hawaii. Another double digit loss should be expected here in a game between two teams going in different directions. Give the points.

Play: Nevada -9  1.0 UNIT  |  WIN 79-67
