TV channel: truTV
Live stream: truTV app/website
Airing live on the truTV channel as well as their app and website, UNR-ASU will serve as Wednesday’s nightcap (9:10 p.m. ET tipoff). The Sun Devils enter the First Four after being eliminated from the Pac-12 Conference Tournament at the ends of hated rival-Arizona in the Semis. Prior to that, the Devils managed to upset Southern California in the quarterfinals.
Nevada has also had a respectable season in 2022-23, but the Wolf Pack is currently riding a three-game losing streak. They did well enough this year to finish fourth in a crowded Mountain West Conference, but they’ll need to improve their play in crunch time if they want to make this 2023-trip to the Big Dance a memorable one.
At DraftKings Sportsbook, Arizona State (-2) is a slight favorite against Nevada, while the combined point-total has been set at 133.5 (-115/-105). On the moneyline, the Wolf Pack are a short-dog (+105); This contest should be neck-and-neck.
