SERIES HISTORY
Nevada and San Diego State will play the 21st game between the two programs in program history this Wednesday. The Wolf Pack and Aztecs are dead even in the all-time series, with each program having won 10 of the 20 meetings. It was the Wolf Pack, however, that took the last meeting, a 95-84 overtime win in last year's Mountain West Tournament opening round.

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 crept her average up to 14.7 points per game, which leads the team and ranks fifth 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. Additionally she scored the 1,000th point of her collegiate career against Boise State and more recently eclipsed 600 points in her Wolf Pack career.

ROOKIE PROWESS
Freshman Imani Lacy has been one of the most productive rookies on the team this season, and she proved her worth in the Pack's game at New Mexico. Against the Lobos, Lacy tallied a career-high 20 points to lead the Wolf Pack. She became just the second freshman to score 20 points in a single game since 2008. Lacy ranks fourth on the team, and leads all rookies, averaging 7.1 points per game and has added eight blocks on the year. In the last six games though, Lacy is averaging double figures at 10.3 points per game.

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. Briggs tallied 10 points and a season-high 14 rebounds in the win at Colorado State to post her eighth double-double of the year, which ranks third in the conference. Briggs currently ranks sixth in the league in scoring, fifth in rebounding, fourth in field goal percentage, seventh in free throw percentage, and is sixth in offensive rebounds.

For her career, she needs six more points to reach 900 in her career. Additionally she can eclipse 700 rebounds in her career with 67 more rebounds.

BY THE NUMBERS
1 - Wins needed for Amanda Levens to reach 70 in her career.
