TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22ND
#656 NEVADA (-2) over UNLV at 11 PM EST
Resting as 12-13 SU on the season and off three consecutive straight up wins, Nevada will have no trouble cashing this revenge ticket. Back on February 1st, the Wolf Pack (+5) visited Sin City and dropped a 69-58 decision to the Rebels. Rest assured; head coach Steve Alford will be anxious to get his troops back to the .500-mark with a victory here.
In the last 19 meetings between these two Mountain West Conference warriors, Nevada has come out on top inking a solid 14-5 SU and 12-6-1 ATS mark including a powerful 10-2 SU and 9-3 ATS tally provided the Wolf Pack slip in with steam off a straight up win. Equally impressive, when priced as a favorite and competing with same season single revenge, Coach Alford’s kids hold a strong 35-7 SU and 32-10 ATS record including a reliable 12-3 SU and ATS if they are priced short at -4 or less. Finally, when hitting the hardwood off two or more straight up wins, Nevada carries an elite 40-18 SU and 36-18-2 ATS tally provided they take the court off a pointspread victory as well.
If you plan on fading UNLV, a good place to do that is when the Runnin’ Rebels are on the road. As a guest, head coach Kevin Kruger’s kids own a weak 25-49 SU and 28-42-4 ATS record in their last 74 games including a dismal 10-21 SU and 10-20-1 ATS if they are going into revenge. With those two parameters in play and the Rebels fighting a foe that is not off a blowout loss of 20 points or more, this angle falls to a nasty 3-21 SU and 4-19-1 ATS.
Off back-to-back upset wins over Fresno State and Colorado State and a string of four pointspread victories, UNLV will meet its match in Reno. Take Nevada. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
