The 36^th-ranked Wolf Pack used its best team round of the tournament, a 291 (7-over), to jump one spot on the leaderboard to finish in 15^th in the 18-team field. Nevada finished ahead of No. 49 Central Florida, Washington State and Toledo. No. 10 USC used a 19-under par day to charge ahead three spots and claim the team title over No. 19 BYU.
