UC San Diego Tritons vs Nevada Wolf Pack: Betting Odds
The Tritons are struggling to find some momentum in the Big West. They only have four wins but five losses so far this season. They faced teams like the Seattle Redhawks (85-71), the Sacramento State Hornets (65-55), the Navy Midshipmen (78-69), the Youngstown State Penguins (73-54), and the San Diego Toreros (84-58) resulting in defeats.
The team is poor when it comes to offense. They are only scoring 65.9 points per game while conceding 72.9 points. So the team is not up to the mark when it comes to offense and certainly concedes a lot more than what they score.
