In the end, it was one rally too far.
Nevada, trailing by 16 at halftime, put together multiple big runs in Friday’s second half to eventually tie the score at 51 with 12:12 left, but could never pull in front of visiting San Diego.
Instead, the Toreros were finally able to put the brakes on the Wolf Pack’s explosive surges, emerging with a 75-68 win at Lawlor Events Center.
Nevada dropped to 1-1 and split its short two-game homestand; the Pack plays its next five games on the road. San Diego, out of the West Coast Conference, improved to 2-0.
