What to Know

The Nevada Wolf Pack have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Loyola Marymount Lions at 11 p.m. ET Dec. 18 at Lawlor Events Center. The Wolf Pack will be strutting in after a win while Loyola Marymount will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Nevada simply couldn't be stopped this past Wednesday, as they easily beat the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs at home 98-62.

Meanwhile, the Lions were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap two weeks ago as they fell 63-58 to the New Mexico St. Aggies. Guard Eli Scott (20 points) was the top scorer for Loyola Marymount.

Nevada is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Nevada, who are 4-4 against the spread.

The Wolf Pack are now 5-4 while Loyola Marymount sits at 6-4. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Nevada is stumbling into the contest with the 30th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 75.7 on average. Loyola Marymount has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 45.60% from the floor on average, which is the 35th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
