Coming off one of the biggest wins in program history, Utah State goes for its third win in a row when it travels New Year’s Eve to take on Nevada.
Nevada hosts Utah State in Reno, NV at home on the last day of the year right before the clock strikes midnight on Tuesday. The Wolf Pack are trying to avoid losing three in a row tonight and are 8-5 overall. The good news for them is that they are 6-2 at home heading into their third Mountain West matchup of the season. The two conference games that the Wolf Pack have played have not been kind to them losing to Colorado State and Wyoming by a combined five points. Nevada’s most recent game came on the road in Laramie, WY losing to the Cowboys on Saturday by a 66-63 final.
The last time Nevada won in Wyoming was back in February 2020. The Wolf Pack were led by Nick Davidson and Kobe Sanders who both scored 15 points. The game was very back-and-forth and Nevada went up 63-61 after a jumper from Justin McBride, who finished the night with 11 points, with just 1:33 left in the game. Unfortunately for the Wolf Pack they could not score the rest of the game to just miss out on their first conference win of the season.

Nevada will have a tough time getting its first Mountain West win tonight against a very formidable 12-1 Utah State team. The Aggies are 12-0 with a perfect 5-0 record away from home. Utah State is trying to win three in a row tonight and are coming off a wild buzzer-beating win against No. 20 San Diego State on Saturday. It was the Aggies’ first road win against a ranked opponent in more than 30 years in one of the biggest wins in program history.
Even more impressive was that Utah State battled back from an 18-point deficit. The win came from the hands of sophomore forward Tucker Anderson who hit the game-winning three and stopped the Aztecs for the final possession of the game. Ian Martinez led the Aggies with 17 points after Utah State got its first win over San Diego State for the first time since 1999. Utah State will have all the momentum heading into this matchup.
