Nevada Basketball opponent preview & prediction: Eastern Washington Eagles

The Nevada Wolf Pack tip-off their anticipated 2021-22 campaign tomorrow versus the Eastern Washington Eagles at Lawlor Events Center in Reno, Nev.

The Pack are coming a 16-10 season, where it finished No. 5 in the Mountain West at 8-7. Nevada got bounced in the semifinals of the Mountain West tournament to then-No. 19-ranked San Diego State, 77-70. It returns over 80 percent of its scoring production, including five of their top six scorers from a year ago — boasted by All-Conference guards Grant Sherfield and Desmond Cambridge Jr.

Meanwhile, Eastern Washington, coming off its third NCAA Tournament berth in its program’s history after finishing 16-8 (12-3 Big Sky), underwent significant turnover.
