WHY UNLV WILL WIN

UNLV had a heartbreaking 101-75 home loss against the Mountain West-leading Nevada Wolfpack, despite their strong confidence they would come out with a win and continuing Silver State dominance. The Runnin Rebels now have a 8-9 conference record, and are licking their wounds after the hard senior night loss.

The Runnin Rebels will be taking out their anger on the Utah State Aggies, and they’ll play hard to secure a 9th win to narrowly avoid a losing conference record.

WHY Utah state WILL WIN

If anything could possibly be more embarrassing than UNLV’s Wednesday loss against Nevada, it would be Utah State’s 62-64 loss on Wednesday to the 0-16 San Jose State Spartans, leaving the Aggies 7-10 in league play.

The Aggies will battle for one more conference win and will have home court advantage.
