Nevada Basketball opponent preview and prediction: Utah State Aggies
The Nevada Wolf Pack play host to the Utah State Aggies on Saturday, Jan. 29 at Lawlor Events Center in Reno, Nev.
Both teams have had rocky-ish starts to its conference slate, though you could argue the Aggies have fared better despite the worse record.
Utah State, 11-9 with a 2-5 conference record, is fresh of snapping a four-game skid on Wednesday, handing San Diego State their worse loss of the season with the 75-57 victory. It’s five conference losses have come by a combined 19 points, including three by one possession. That doesn’t feel like a sustainable trend for Utah State, who ranks No. 61 in the NET Rankings and No. 54 in the Ken Pom rankings (at the time of publishing).
