A week ago, it would have taken an “unforeseen meltdown” for Nevada not to make the tournament. The possibility of a meltdown became a reality when Nevada lost to its rival from the South, UNLV, 86-78 in heartbreaking fashion. The Rebels ended Nevada’s 16-game home winning streak, which lasted over a calendar year.
Nevada’s leading scorer Caleb Martin missed the game after aggravating a foot injury at the end of the the previous game against Colorado State. The injury leads to the bigger question of why Eric Musselman keeps his starters on the floor, even with a game in hand.
