HONOLULU (AP) -- Ramon Sessions scored 19 points, including the go-ahead basket in overtime, to give No. 19 Nevada a 68-66 victory over Hawaii on Saturday night.
Playing without injured star forward Nick Fazekas, Nevada (16-1, 4-0 Western Athletic Conference) relied on Sessions and Kyle Shiloh, who scored 18 points.
Hawaii (10-7, 1-3) led for most of the game until Sessions made the tying layup with 18 seconds left in regulation. His winner came with 27 seconds remaining in overtime.
In Fazekas' absence, the Wolf Pack squeaked by despite being outrebounded 42-33. Nevada extended its winning streak to nine straight.
The Rainbows were led by Ahmet Gueye, who had 20 points and 14 rebounds. Matt Lojeski scored 17 points.
The game featured eight lead changes and 12 ties.
Hawaii, which led 30-26 at halftime, seemed to control the pace of the game until Nevada came back in the second half.
Marcelus Kemp finished with 11 points for the Wolf Pack, who haven't lost since Dec. 9 against UNLV.
Fazekas missed his second straight game after he severely sprained his ankle when he landed on another player's foot during Nevada's win over Boise State on Monday.
Sessions' go-ahead basket came after Lojeski had a chance to give Hawaii the lead but missed a field goal. The game ended with a scramble for a loose ball under the basket, and Nevada was awarded the final possession.
The Wolf Pack, who average 77.4 points and 49.1 percent shooting from the field, only made 43.1 percent of their shots. Hawaii sunk 40 percent.
Nevada forced 15 turnovers and capitalized on close shots. But the Wolf Pack were only 4-of-18 from 3-point range.
