The 10th-ranked Nevada men’s basketball team has been a second half team all season, and they proved it once again Saturday in a 67-52 victory over Air Force. After a historically poor first half performance, Nevada cleaned up with another signature second half comeback, improving to 18-1 overall and 5-1 in the Mountain West Conference.

Another slow start offensively had the Pack down 15-10 in the early going. Air Force nailed three three-pointers in the first seven minutes while the Pack started 1 of 9 from deep.
