It took a 15-point comeback, but Nevada’s grown used to double-digit deficits over the past two seasons. Their resilience showed once again in a 77-69 victory over the Boise State Broncos to advance to the Mountain West Tournament semifinals.
Nevada’s streaky shooting from behind the arc and timely buckets in the waning moments took down a physical Broncos team that played hard all 40 minutes. The Pack improved to 29-3 on the season, tying a program record set in 2006-07.
THE RUNDOWN:
OFFENSE:
- Nevada shot 48 percent from the field and 39 percent from three-point range (9-23).
