The 21st ranked Nevada Wolf Pack will be at the Thomas and Mack Center tonight to face their archrival, the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels. The Wolf Pack have won five in a row and have been getting it done on the road, with a record of 10-2, and are 14-2 in conference play. The Runnin’ Rebels have been decent at home, with a record of 13-5, but are just 8-8 in conference play. The Rebels walked into Lawlor Events Center on February 7th and beat the Wolf Pack, 86-78, and Nevada has not forgotten that. This should be a close game so consider Nevada on the money line.
