QUICK HITS
• Senior T Moe is averaging 22.7 points per game through three games in the Mountain West Tournament.
• This is Nevada's first appearance in the MW title game and is just its second appearance in a conference championship game.
• With a win on Friday, Nevada would become the lowest seed to capture a Mountain West Championship.
• Nevada and Boise State split the regular season series, each winning on the road.
• The Wolf Pack has secured at least its best record in four seasons.

SERIES HISTORY
Nevada and Boise State have one of the longest running all-time series' in program history at 54 games and counting. The Broncos
have owned much of the series, winning 37 times, but the two teams split the regular season series this year.

LAST TIME OUT (W, 67-63 vs. Wyoming)
• Nevada turned the ball over just three times in the game, setting a program record.
• For the third straight game, senior T Moe led the Pack in scoring with 17 points.
• The Wolf Pack defeated the No. 3 seeded Cowgirls for the first time this season having lost twice in the regular season.
• With the win, Nevada has now won five consecutive games.
• Teige Zeller (16) and Camariah King (11) also scored in double figures for Nevada.
• Nevada led for 31:33 of the game.

WHY NOT US
The sentiment around the Wolf Pack all tournament long has been, 'why not us?'  Now, as Nevada heads into the Mountain West Championship game, that phrase holds truer than ever. To get here the Wolf Pack needed overtime to get past No. 10 San Diego State, double overtime to knock off No. 2 UNLV and a late night, close win to defeat No. 3 Wyoming. Now in the MW Championship game for the first time, Nevada will look to make history. With a win the Pack would become the lowest seed to ever capture a MW title (7 seed) and would earn the program's first NCAA Tournament berth.

ZELLER AND REDMON RECOGNIZED FOR ACADEMICS
Senior Teige Zeller and junior Jade Redmon were named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District second team for the first time in their careers. They are the first Nevada student-athletes to earn a selection to the all-district team since Anna DuBois (track & field) in 2016. Additionally they represented the only Mountain West school on the second team.

1,000 AND COUNTING
Coming into the MW Tournament this week, senior T Moe needed 11 points with at least one game remaining to reach 1,000 for her career. Moe has played the games of her life all week long and is now at 1,057 points and counting. The California native is averaging 22.7 points per game through three tournament games.

SEEING DOUBLE
Senior Teige Zeller has been a double-double machine this season, collecting her 11th of the year earlier this week against San Diego State. The New Mexico native scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Following her 16-point effort in the team's last game vs. Wyoming, she has scored in double figures in 20 of her last 21 games. The double-double vs. SDSU was the 14th's of Zeller's career, which means she has more than doubled her double-double output from her previous three seasons.

STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE
Nevada has 11 teams on its schedule this season who participated in postseason tournaments last year, including four who made the NCAA Tournament. Boise State, the favorite this year in the Mountain West,  UConn, which enters the season ranked No. 1 in the nation, Oregon State and Montana State competed in the NCAA Tournament. Teams to have played in the Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) include Utah, SMU, Seattle, Colorado State, UNLV and Wyoming. Utah State made an appearance in the WBI.

MILESTONE WATCH
Nevada has a few players who are approaching milestones, some of whom could hit those numbers Friday afternoon against Boise State.

• T Moe - 7 points shy of passing Katie Golomb for 12th in career scoring
• MorningRose Tobey - 15 points shy of 200
• AJ Cephas - One block shy of moving to sixth all-time
• Ashlee Jones - 18 points shy of 300
• Halie Bergman - 26 points shy of 600
• Jade Redmon - One point shy of 300

REBOUNDING MACHINE
Through 32 games, the Wolf Pack has been a well oiled machine when it comes to rebounding. Heading into Friday's game, Nevada ranks third in the Mountain West in rebouding margin, grabbing an average of 3.8 more rebounds per game than its opponent. Additionally the Pack ranks fourth in the league in rebounding defense (34.6 rpg) and is fourth in rebounding offense (38.4 rpg).
