Nevada at UNLV

UNLV has been a strong team off the glass with former UConn player Roscoe Smith pulling down 12.7 rebounds per game while teammate Khem Birch is grabbing 9.9 per contest. The problem is that this team lacks a quality point guard and relies too much on one-and-one offense, and has turned the ball over too many times. The Wolfpack is green, growing and has shown improvement, led by Deonte Burton and his 21.8 points per game. Burton is enough to keep the Pack close in this one and the Runnin' Rebels have struggled against teams from the Mountain West where they are 10-21 ATS in their last 31. The Wolf Pack has held their own on the road, covering five of their last seven, and will stay in touch here. Go with Nevada.
