When it was announced last week that Eric Musselman would throw out the first pitch at the Reno Aces home opener, Albuquerque Journal basketball writer Geoff Grammer tweeted, "Pressure is on, @EricPMusselman. I fully expect you to bank it into the catcher's mitt somehow."
Clearly, that was a joke about the Wolf Pack's furious rally over New Mexico last January in which Nevada came back from 12 points down with a little more than a minute remaining to stun the Lobos, a rally that included two banked in 3-pointers by Marcus Marshall.
Musselman said he took on the challenge and put in a little extra practice.
