Nevada Basketball opponent preview and prediction: Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs

After a 15-day absence, the Nevada Wolf Pack men’s basketball team returns home to take on the unbeaten Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs, a Division-II program from Duluth, Minn.

The Wolf Pack have had their last two games cancelled — against North Texas and UT-Arlington — due to COVID-19 issues within the program. Nevada head coach Steve Alford, who missed its 13-point victory over Pepperdine on Nov. 30 after testing positive for COVID-19 that morning, returns.

After beginning the season 1-4 with its best offseason acquisition getting dismissed from the team, Nevada countered with three straight wins before its COVID cancellations.
