Cameron Oliver had 20 points and a career-high 24 rebounds and Eric Cooper Jr made three straight free throws in the final minute to seal Nevada’s 77-72 overtime win over Fresno State on Saturday night.
Fresno State scored seven of the first nine points in the extra period to take a 70-65 lead. But the Wolf Pack (15-9, 7-5 Mountain West) responded by piecing together a 9-2 scoring stretch, seven of which came at the free-throw line, to take a 74-72 lead with 25 seconds to go. The final three free throws came from Cooper Jr.
Oliver and Tyron Criswell combined to go 3 of 4 from the line to close it out for Nevada.
