Nevada Basketball: Wolf Pack beat Vermont and clinches birth in the CBI Finals

The Nevada Wolf Pack turned in a spectacular performance tonight in Reno as they defeated the Vermont Catamounts 86-72 in the CBI semifinals. The win advances the Wolf Pack to the best-of-three CBI Finals where they will face the Morehead State Eagles.

The Wolf Pack continued their great shooting performances of the previous two games as they shot 53 percent from the field and shot 50 percent (6 of 12) from the three-point. The defense for Nevada also played well tonight as they limited the Catamounts to just 39 percent shooting from the field.
