Nevada Basketball: Cold shooting bites Pack late, falling 73-70 to San Francisco

The Nevada Wolf Pack’s cold second-half shooting caught up to them late, dropping their third-straight, 73-70, to San Francisco on Thursday in the War Memorial at the Sobrato Center in San Francisco, Calif.

Nevada, who led by 16 in the first half and 10 at the intermission, shot just 37 percent in the second-half — clanking all nine of its 3-point attempts and scoring just 24 second-half points. The Pack missed five of their final six attempts in the last two minutes, including four straight in the final minute.

Grant Sherfield’s potential game-tying floater rimmed out with 24 seconds left, though Dons forward Josh Kunen missed the front end of his one-and-one — gifting the Wolf Pack another opportunity with 13 seconds remaining.
