NEVADA HITS THE ROAD TO FACE LOBOS ON ESPN2
• The Nevada Wolf Pack (13-3, 2-1 MW) will carry momentum from a big win against San Diego State into New Mexico Saturday to face the Lobos (9-6, 2-1 MW) at 8:15 p.m. PT on ESPN2.
• For the second game in a row, the Wolf Pack will face an opponent it played in last year's
conference tournament. The Wolf Pack defeated the Lobos in the quarterfinals 64-62.
• After its first two losses of the year, the Wolf Pack put together win streaks of five and seven games, and will be looking to continue that trend with a second straight win in New Mexico.
• Two players recorded double-doubles in the win over San Diego State in sophomores Jordan Caroline and Cameron Oliver. It marked just the second time this year two Pack players
accomplished the feat in the same game.
• Staying consistent this year, four Pack players in seniors Marcus Marshall (20.4) and D.J. Fenner (12.5) and sophomores Cameron Oliver (15.1) and Jordan Caroline (12.7) are averaging double figures. All four scored more than 10 against San Diego State.
• Freshman Devearl Ramsey (13.0 mpg) and junior Leland King II (11.5 mpg) have both seen a large increase in playing time since Josh Hall was diagnosed with a concussion against SJSU.
