Nevada is on an upward trend

Nevada is on an upward trend and the program appears to be heading in the right direction. Last season, the Wolfpack finished with a 26-8 record and finished second in the Mountain West Conference during the regular season. The strength of this team appears to be up front, and that starts with Nick Davidson, who averaged 12.2 points and shot 54.5 percent from the field. Center KJ Hymes also believes he can have a better year after averaging 5.7 points on 60.8 percent shooting from the field. Nevada is a strong offensive team and they will need a better offense this season.

Why Nevada will beat Sam Houston State

• Nevada has won 19 of its last 20 games against non-conference opponents at the Lawlor Events Center.
• Sam Houston State has lost three of its last four games against non-conference opponents.

Sam Houston State owns Conference USA?

Sam Houston State appears to own Conference USA, and they won't be looking to prove it again this season. The Bearkats finished last season with a 21-12 record and went 13-3 in conference play. However, Sam Houston State looks much different than last year's team as only two players returned. The good news is that three of last year's top four scorers are back. Senior Marcus Boykin averaged 8.1 points per game last year and will take on an even larger role this year. If Sam Houston State wants to have success in this game, the defense here has to be good.

Sam Houston State vs. Nevada Prediction

Yes, Sam Houston State is going to have a big season and I think they are a very talented team, they just aren't as talented as Nevada. Nevada will have an elite offense this season and they will have no problem putting up the score here. Sam Houston State's offense won't be able to keep up and it will be Nevada that gets the job done. Support Nevada against the spread.
