The Nevada Wolf Pack will host the Montana Grizzlies in the first round of the 2016 College Basketball Invitational Tournament on Wednesday night. This will be Nevada's third appearance in the CBI Tournament and the Wolf Pack are 0-2 all-time in this tournament. This will be Nevada's 14th postseason appearance in school history and its first since appearing in the 2012 NIT Tournament.
In Eric Musselman's first year as head coach at Nevada, the Wolf Pack improved their record from 9-22 in 2014-15 to 19-13 in 2015-16. The Wolf Pack also won their first ever Mountain West Tournament game as they defeated the New Mexico Lobos in the quarterfinal round last Thursday.
