NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Wolf Pack basketball team beat Cincinnati, 75-73, on Sunday afternoon to improve to 29-7 overall. Here are three takeaways from Nevada’s victory.
1. About those Sweet 16 uniforms
A couple of hours before the Wolf Pack and Bearcats took the court, the Cincinnati bookstore put a new item up for sale: Sweet 16 shirts. There was one problem with that. Cincinnati wasn’t in the Sweet 16 yet. First, it had to beat Nevada, and after the Bearcats were up 22 points in the second half, it looked like that wasn’t going to be a problem.
