Nevada enters the game with a 20-11 overall record and 12-8 mark in MWC play, while Air Force has struggled to a 3-28 record and 0-20 conference record this season.
Why it matters
This game represents a significant mismatch on paper, with Nevada outscoring opponents by an average of 4 points per game compared to Air Force being outscored by nearly 18 points per game.
