The Nevada Wolf Pack opened up their 2021-22 campaign with a 91-76 victory over the Eastern Washington Eagles Tuesday in front of 7,103 fans at Lawlor Events Center in Reno, Nev.
Tuesday marked the first time since Feb. 29, 2020 — a span of 619 days — where fans populated the crowd. Fans and students were required to be fully vaccinated upon entrance.
“It was fun,” Nevada guard Grant Sherfield said after the game about having fans in the stands. “It makes the game fun when you have fans interacting with the game and stuff. I pretty much felt the fans’ voices every play.
