RENO, Nev. - Nevada opens its final road trip of the regular season Saturday evening, visiting Wyoming for a 5 p.m. PT tip at the Arena-Auditorium.

Saturday's contest will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network, with Rich Waltz and Mike O'Connell on the call.  The game will also be carried over the airwaves in Reno on ESPN Radio 94.5 FM and online through the Varsity Network app, with John Ramey calling the action.
UP NEXT
The Pack continues the trip Tuesday at Boise State, tipping off against the Broncos at 6 p.m. PT, before returning home for Senior Night, March 5, against San Diego State.
LAST TIME OUT
Nevada had its three-game winning streak snapped Tuesday night, falling, 62-54, at home to UNLV.
Playing short-handed, as Desmond Cambridge Jr. (rib) was a late scratch, the Pack shot just 38.3 percent overall and went 3-for-18 from 3-point range.
Grant Sherfield scored 19 points with eight assists, his third-straight game with at least eight helpers, while forward Warren Washington returned after missing the past eight games. Washington posted his third double-double of the season, scoring 12 points with 11 rebounds and going 6-for-9 from the field.
SCOUTING WYOMING
Wyoming (22-5, 11-3 MW) enters Saturday's game coming off of a 61-55 loss at Colorado State Wednesday night.
The Cowboys have split their past four games, slipping into second place in the conference standings behind Boise State. Wyoming is led on the court by the play of Graham Ike (20.6 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 53.5 FG pct.) and Hunter Maldonado (19.0 ppg, 6.15 apg).
BREAKING A SLIDE AGAINST THE COWBOYS
Nevada enters Saturday's game having lost four-straight to the Cowboys, dating back to the 2020 Mountain West Tournament quarterfinals.
Last season, the Pack dropped the series in Laramie, falling 71-64 and 93-88 in the two contests.
SHERFIELD CONTINUES CONDUCTING
Point guard Grant Sherfield has found his form since returning Feb. 8 from a three-game absence. Over the five games since his return, Sherfield has averaged 20.0 points and 7.60 assists with three 20-point performances.
He's passed out at least eight assists in each of the past three contests, including a double-double of 25 points and 10 assists Feb. 17 at San José State.
WASHINGTON RETURNS
Perhaps a Washington crossing the icy Truckee River isn't as dramatic as crossing an icy Delaware River, but Nevada was given a boost with Tuesday night's return of forward Warren Washington from an eight-game absence.
Washington scored the first four Pack points of the game, and went on to post his third double-double of the season, finishing with 12 points and a season high-matching 11 rebounds. He also went 6-for-9 from the field and made two blocks.
