Colorado State is coming into this game with a 23-9 record this season and they are 10-8 in the conference. They are coming off of a win against San Jose State in the last round of this conference tournament and they have been playing well recently with 3 straight wins. They have been playing much better in their last 3 games but they have also had a very weak schedule in that span as their wins came against Wyoming, Air Force, and San Jose State, all 3 of those teams with losing records in the conference and 2 of those being at the very bottom of the MWC. Prior to this span, they had lost 3 straight games against stronger opponents and have actually lost 4 of their last 5 games against teams with winning records in the conference. They are going up against a Nevada team that is 26-6 this season and has been one of the better teams in the conference this year at 13-5. Nevada has also been playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 7 straight as well as 10 of their last 11 games. They also have some quality wins in that span as they have won their last 4 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 games against teams with winning records in the conference. Nevada has been heating up recently and they are going to get up for this game as they need make a deep run in this tournament with how strong the conference has been as there are a lot of tournament worthy teams in the MWC this year. Nevada will also have the confidence of having beaten Colorado State in both meetings this season, and they are rested while CSU is playing on a B2B. Nevada will cover the spread in this game.
