Nevada has plenty of offensive punch for first-year head coach Eric Musselman, averaging 72 points per game on the road. That's almost what they scored their last game in a 71-68 victory over Wyoming, part of a 9-5 run. Nevada has a big frontcourt with 6-8 freshman Cameron Oliver (10.4 ppg, 7.1 rebounds per game) and 6-9 A.J. West (9.6 ppg, 7.7 rpg), plus an experienced backcourt with senior guards Tyron Criswell (10.6 ppg) and Marqueze Coleman (18 ppg). They head to Fresno State, a Bulldogs offense that is shooting just 42.8% as a team and 67.3% from the free throw line. Fresno was a five-point favorite the last game and lost 77-62 to New Mexico, allowing 53% shooting. The Wolf Pack have won three of the last four meetings (4-0 ATS) in the season series in Fresno, plus the dog is 6-0 ATS when these rivals clash. Play Nevada.
