If Nevada can come close to matching its effort in its Mountain West opener, the Wolf Pack will clinch the Mountain West title on Saturday.
Nevada (26-2 overall) plays Saturday at Utah State (23-6) in a much-anticipated clash between the top two teams in the Mountain West. The Wolf Pack leads the conference standings at 13-2, one-half game in front of the Aggies’ 13-3.
With a win, Nevada would clinch at least a share of its third straight Mountain West regular-season title, along with the top seed for the Mountain West Tournament later this month in Las Vegas.
