Nevada’s second-half rally paved the way to its 81-62 victory over the Washington Huskies on Wednesday in their final game of the Crossover Classic in Sioux Falls, S.D.
Down 45-44 with 13:30 remaining, the Wolf Pack strung together a 17-4 run over the next 5:09 to take the 61-49 lead — courtesy of a pull-up 3-pointer by Grant Sherfield, who finished with a game-high 23 points on 8-of-16 shooting (after a 1-for-8 start) with team highs in assists (5) and steals (2).
Washington quickly cut it to seven, but a pair of Desmond Cambridge free throws (from a Huskies technical) followed by Kenan Blackshear’s contested corner 3-pointer re-upped it to 12 with 7:03 to go.
