As much as I hate to say this, I have Nevada winning in both of my brackets. Musselman is a solid coach with a ton of HC experience including NBA level. If it's a complete push, I'm defaulting to coach quality and Nevada has the angle there. He's really good at getting everything out of his players every game.
Wolf Pack's primary rotation features mostly Juniors and Seniors with good chemistry. They're small in the post but they have big guards and they're just a well balanced basketball team that seems to get it done on offense - they can score from anywhere and they're going to get to the free throw line.
I'm afraid it's going to be a hard fought battle and is going to come down to 1) coaching/scheme 2) free throws at the end; which are not our strengths.
I guess since Bamba is healthy now he's going to be back in the starting line up and will get 30+ mins. Which is not the best lineup for us. IMO.
But what do I know. I really hope I'm wrong.
