What you need to know about Nevada

Nevada closed the regular season in painful fashion, losing a pair of close games to Boise State and San Diego State. The Wolf Pack will enter the conference tournament feeling like they can beat any team in the tournament, though. They won three straight games in February before losing their final four games of the regular season. 

Junior guard Grant Sherfield leads Nevada with 18.5 points, 6.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game. It has been a balanced effort from Nevada though, as Desmond Cambridge Jr. is averaging 16.3 points and Will Baker is adding 11.7 points. Junior forward Warren Washington is averaging 10.4 points and a team-high 6.6 rebounds. 

What you need to know about New Mexico

New Mexico bounced back from a three-game losing skid in February with two wins in its final three games of the regular season. The Lobos notched wins over Air Force and UNLV to give themselves some momentum heading into this tournament. Their best win of the season came in a 75-66 final against then-No. 22 Wyoming last month. 

Sophomore guard Jamal Mashburn Jr. is averaging a team-best 18.3 points per game. He is joined in double figures by junior guard Jaelen House, who is scoring 16.9 points and dishing out 4.4 assists. Junior forward Jay Allen-Tovar is scoring 8.2 points and grabbing 5.1 rebounds, but he is questionable for this game due to an ankle injury.
