Fresno State returns to the Save Mart Center on a three-game win streak and is fresh off its road win at San Jose State last week. A win in Thursday night’s contest against Nevada would shift the Bulldogs into second place in the conference, trailing only Boise State.

Fresno State will have to contain the Wolf Pack’s dynamic backcourt, which is averaging nearly 28 points per game.

Guards Chantella Perera and Tierre Wilson have combined for over 36 points per game during the Bulldogs three-game win streak.

Criner is the Wolf Pack’s Wilson. She can create with the ball and gets to the line nearly twice as much as her closest teammate. Wilson is always on offensively, but will she ready to go defensively? That’ll be huge.

Graham is the team’s go-to 3-point shooter, with 103 attempts on the year. Perera is the Bulldogs’ equivalent, but can score off the dribble as well. Graham looks to be outmatched, but anything and everything can and has happened to the Bulldogs this year.
