What a Win for Boise State

Boise State was struggling heading into the last game, but they bounced back in a big way in the last game. Boise State faced off against New Mexico, a very good team, and they scored 86 points on the way to the win. That was quite the bounce back from San Diego State two games ago, where they scored 47 points on the way to the victory. Tyson Degenhhart had a huge game, putting up 32 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. Pearson Carmichael also stepped up, putting up 21 points, five rebounds, and one assist. 

Boise State has 18 wins, but only three of those games were on the road. At times this season, the offense has been inconsistent, but the defense has been consistent, giving up 66.2 points per game. The defense is ranked 37th in the league, and the defense will need to be key in this game. Degenhart is having a huge season, averaging 18.3 points while shooting 52.2 percent from the field and 30.9 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Why Boise State Will Beat Nevada 

  • Boise State has won five of its last six games.
  • Nevada has lost the first half in three of its last four day games against the Mountain West Conference.

Can Nevada Bounce Back?

The season’s story for Nevada has been the inconsistent play, and the last couple of weeks have been no different. Two games ago against San Jose State, they won 73-58, but in the last game against Colorado, they struggled. The offense scored 71 points, but the defense gave up 79 points. Nick Davidson had a huge game, putting up 22 points, seven rebounds, and two assists, but the rest of the offense wasn’t consistent enough. Xavier DeSull played 34 minutes and put up only three points. That type of production isn’t going to get the job done. 

Nevada has a 15-11 record overall; they have gone 10-4 at home. The offense has been inconsistent this season, and now they face a tough matchup here. The first time against the Broncos, they scored only 56 points. One issue for Nevada is injuries; three players are currently on the injury report. Daniel Foster is dealing with an injury that has caused him to miss two straight games. Nick Davidson is averaging 16.2 points while shooting 51.8 percent from the field. 

Why Nevada Will Beat Boise State

  • Nevada has won 27 of its last 32 day games at Lawlor Events Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • Boise State has lost four of its last five road games against the Mountain West Conference.
  • Boise State has lost the first half in three of its last four road games against the Mountain West Conference.

Boise State vs Nevada Prediction

What happened the first time these two teams faced off this year? Nevada scored only 56 points, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The offense has been inconsistent all season. Boise State is averaging 76.3 points per game, but they aren’t going to score as much here. The Nevada defense will find a way to slow down Degenhart. The final score was 66-56 the last time these two teams faced, and it’s going to be similar here. Back the under to cash.
