The Nevada Wolf Pack are set to visit Arena Auditorium in Laramie, Wyoming for a Mountain West Conference clash against the Wyoming Cowboys. The Nevada Wolf Pack come into matchup with a 10-6 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Wyoming Cowboys, 71-64. Leading the way for the Nevada Wolf Pack was sophomore forward Warren Washington as he recorded 21 points and 9 rebounds. Junior guard Desmond Cambridge Jr. had a productive outing for the Wolf Pack as he pitched in 16 points.

The Nevada Wolf Pack struggled shooting the ball against the Wyoming Cowboys as they connected on 21 of their 62 field goal attempts (33.9%), and they were even worse from behind the three-point line (16%).

The Wyoming Cowboys come into this matchup with a 9-5 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Nevada Wolf Pack, 71-64. Leading the way for the Wyoming Cowboys was sophomore guard Kenny Foster as he recorded 15 points and 7 rebounds. Joining Foster in the backcourt was sophomore guard Kwane Marble II who had a productive outing for the Cowboys as he pitched in 15 points and 4 rebounds.

The Nevada Wolf Pack were beaten by this same Wyoming team in the previous game which leaves come questions on how they will respond here, but they are the better overall team which is why I will back them here. The Wolf Pack have one of the most underrated backcourts in the country with Grant Sherfield averaging 18.1 PPG and Desmond Cambridge Jr. pitching in 15.2 PPG, and they should continue finding their stride in conference play. The Wyoming Cowboys have really struggled on the defensive side of the court this season as they are allowing an average of 74.4 PPG, and I expect the Wolf Pack to run away with this game on the road. Final Score Prediction, Nevada Wolf Pack win and cover ATS 76-70.
