Why Nevada Will Win
One of the Mountain West’s biggest tests of the non-conference schedule will take place Monday night in Reno as Nevada hosts Atlantic 10 favorite Rhode Island. The Rams are coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance and will be a factor yet again. Lawlor will be packed and passionate as Nevada fans know just how important this game is towards the Wolf Pack’s NCAA Tournament hopes. The Rhode Island front court could have its hands full defending Jordan Caroline and the Martin twins. Look for Nevada to attack the basket against URI’s stingy perimeter defense.
