SERIES HISTORY
Nevada and Air Force do not have a long history between them, having played just 16 games. The Wolf Pack has had the upper hand in the all-time series, winning 13 of the 16 games, including a 70-60 win last season in Reno.

BALANCE OF JADE
Senior Jade Redmon has been one, if not the, most consistent member of the Wolf Pack this season. Redmon is the only Nevada player to score in double figures in every game in which they have played and has creeped her average up to 14.0 points per game, which ranks second on the team and tied for eighth in the Mountain West. She has been on fire as of late, averaging 15.8 points per game in league play, which is fourth best in the MW. She leads the conference shooting 91.3 percent from the free throw line in MW games. Additionally she scored the 1,000th point of her collegiate career last time out against Boise State.

DOUBLE TROUBLE
Freshman Emma Torbert became the final scholarship rookie to post a game in double figures after she scored 11 points in the team's game against Seattle. She also became the first Pack rookie to record a double-double after posting 13 points and 11 rebounds against Hawai'i. Torbert, along with the Pack's four other scholarship freshmen, including Da'Ja Hamilton, Essence Booker, Imani Lacy and Amaya West, have now all reached double figures at least two times this season.

Essence Booker: Long Beach State (12), Colorado (11), Utah State (11)
Imani Lacy: USC (11), Stanislaus State (10), Fresno State (12)
Emma Torbert: Seattle (11), Hawai'i (13), Boise State (10)
Da'Ja Hamilton: Texas Tech (12), Long Beach State (11)
Amaya West: UC Davis (14), Texas Tech (12)

TIP TIP TERAE
Senior Terae Briggs is putting together a remarkable career season for the Pack. She was named the Mountain West Player of the Week for the first time in her career after scoring a career-high 24 points in the team's win over Hawai'i but then followed that up with setting a new career high of 30 points at Utah State. She added 12 rebounds to her 30-point outing to post her sixth double-double of the season, which ranks 49th nationally. Briggs currently ranks third in the league in scoring, fifth in rebounding, fifth in field goal percentage, fourth in free throw percentage, and is eighth in blocked shots.

For her career, recently eclipsed 800 points and can hit 600 rebounds with 28 more boards. She can reach the 1,000-point mark by averaging 13.1 points per game the rest of the season.

BY THE NUMBERS
2.0 - Point differential in three of the Pack's four conference losses.
28 - Rebounds needed by Terae Briggs to reach 600 in her career.
