THREE PLEASE
Through the Wolf Pack's first six games of the season, the team has established itself as a top threat from beyond the arc. Last season, Nevada connected on just 30.8 percent of its shots from long range, but so far this year the Pack is hitting 44.6 percent. In six games Nevada has splashed down 41 threes. Nevada's three-point shooting percentage is tops in the Mountain West and seventh nationally. Senior Halie Bergman leads the Pack with 14 made three-pointers.

RANKED OPPONENTS
It's not often Nevada faces ranked opponents, let alone the No. 1 team in the nation. In fact, the Wolf Pack women's basketball program had never played the No. 1 ranked team until Tuesday night. The highest ranked opponent, prior to Tuesday, that the Pack has faced in its history was Louisiana Tech, which was ranked No. 4 on Dec. 19, 1987. Louisiana Tech won that contest, 80-46. That was before the women's team played in Lawlor Events Center though. Games in Lawlor, Louisville was ranked No. 7/8 in 2008 when Nevada defeated the Cardinals 85-82. Louisville is currently the highest ranked women's team to play against the Pack in Lawlor.
