Survive and advance: Oliver lifts Pack past Lobos

LAS VEGAS – Seconds after Cameron Oliver made the game-sealing block, seconds after he delivered Nevada its first win in Mountain West Tournament history, seconds after posting an historic effort on the biggest stage he has ever played, the Wolf Pack freshman was down on all fours his hands cupping the back of his head.

Oliver was in disbelief. Not even Oliver could comprehend what he had just done, which was lift the Wolf Pack to a 64-62 victory over New Mexico and into the tournament’s semifinal round.

“Cam was unbelievable,” Wolf Pack coach Eric Musselman said.
