Mountain West Tournament preview and prediction: Nevada vs. Boise State
On March 21, 2021, the Nevada Wolf Pack men’s basketball team bested the Boise State Broncos in the 4-5 quarterfinal round of the Mountain West Tournament, 89-82. Nevada’s pair of All-Mountain West guards, Desmond Cambridge and Grant Sherfield, combined for 57 points and the Pack tied their season high for most points in a single game.
Now, 364 days later, the two foes meet again in the quarterfinals of the tourney, though different outlooks surround these two teams this time around.
Boise State, who clinched their first outright Mountain West title against Nevada on March 1, has a much clearer path to make and potentially win the conference title.
