Stay up late on Sunday night for this college basketball battle.

Stan Sheriff Center is hosting this clash at 10:00 p.m. EDT. These schools haven't met since 2017, a 13-point Nevada win. These former conference mates don't get to do this often anymore.

Their first loss came on December 9, but otherwise, Nevada is perfect this season. They responded last time out with a 17-point victory, thanks to Kenan Blackshear's 15/5/5 performance. He leads an offense that plays on the fast side and puts up 79.0 points per game. Most of their damage comes inside the arc, as the Wolf Pack shoot 47.3% from the floor despite only hitting 33.3% of threes. Nevada averages 27.6 trips to the charity stripe but only capitalizes 71.8% of the time. Avoiding turnovers (9.8 per game) helps offset only 8.9 offensive boards per contest. They've put up at least 70 in every win, a stat that they hope will continue.
On the other end, Nevada is only surrendering 64.6 points per contest. Yet again, foes struggle to score inside only shooting 39.4% from the floor. On threes, the Wolf Pack limit foes to 31.1%. The Rainbow Warriors shouldn't expect many free throws, with Nevada keeping opp onents to 15.4 per game (they've benefited from 58.3% shooting too). They tend to win the rebounding battle (+4.6) and turnover battle (+3.0) consistently. Only three teams have reached 70 against Nevada. Will the Wolf Pack keep it that way?
