ABOUT UC SAN DIEGO
 
UC San Diego (7-0) is off to its best Division I start after securing three wins in the Terry's Chocolate ESPN Events Invitational. The Tritons downed Towson, 87-63, to win the Adventure Bracket on Wednesday afternoon. 
 
The Tritons knocked down a season best of 16 three-pointers, with Leo Beath leading the team with 16 points, who was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Nine different players buried a three-pointer to win the game, which was tied for an NCAA Division I record.
 
Against Towson, the Tritons shot 64 percent from distance and 60.4 percent overall to claim the tournament title and the 20th consecutive regular season victory dating back to January. The game was also the second game of the season with five players scoring 10 or more points.
 
Beath was followed by Aidan Burke, who added 14 points on 4-of-5 from the three-point line. Emanuel Prospere II scored 11, while Tom Beattie (10 points and six assists) and Hudson Mayes (10 points) also added double digits to the game.
 
LAST TIME OUT
 
Nevada (5-3) bounced back in the Acrisure Series with a strong 81-65 win over San Francisco (5-3) on Friday afternoon.
 
Corey Camper Jr. led the way with 22 points and six assists as the Pack shot 47.6 percent from the field, 50 percent from three, and 77.8 percent at the line. Elijah Price added 11 points and two assists, while Ethan Croley provided a spark off the bench with an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double.
 
Defensively, Nevada held the Dons to 38.8 percent shooting and just 30.4 percent from deep, forcing 15 turnovers that converted to 15 points.
 
The Pack's bench delivered 34 points, highlighted by freshmen Peyton White's 10 points and three rebounds and Myles Walker's seven points and three assists.
 
FRESHMEN SPARK
 
Nevada's freshmen made a strong impact in the 81-65 win over San Francisco.
 
Ethan Croley led the way with an impressive double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Peyton White added 10 points and steady wing production. Myles Walker chipped in 7 points and 3 assists, providing a reliable spark in the backcourt.
 
Together, the trio combined for 28 points and showed the depth, energy, and promise of Nevada's young core.
 
PRICE ON THE GLASS
 
Forward Elijah Price continues to be one of the top rim protectors in the Mountain West.
 
Price's 64 total rebounds rank third in the Mountain West.
 
Price's double-double performance (17 points and 19 rebounds) keeps the Long Beach, Calif. native ranked fifth in the league in that category.
 
His 19-rebound game on Nov. 12, 2025, set a new career high, stands as one of the top rebounding games in program history, and is ranked sixth-highest single-game total in Division I this season.
 
Price's effort is now the best single-game rebounding performance by a Nevada player under head coach Steve Alford and the most by any Pack player since Cameron Oliver grabbed 21 boards against UNLV on Feb. 20, 2016.
 
The sophomore also leads the Mountain West in free throws made, going 46-for-61 (75 percent), a total that ranks 27th nationally.
 
COMER AND CAMPER JR. SETTING THE PACE
 
Corey Camper Jr. and Tayshawn Comer have not just been setting the pace for the Pack offense, but also impacting both ends of the floor.
 
Camper Jr. leads Nevada with 128 points (16.0 per game), along with 29 rebounds and 17 assists. The senior recorded a career-high of 27 points against UCSB on Nov. 22, 2025.
 
Comer has a total of 117 points (14.6 per game), with 22 rebounds and 30 assists. The senior had a career high for three-pointers made with four in 10 attempts against Southern Illinois.
 
Defensively, Camper Jr. has added 10 steals while Comer has 12 of his own.
 
PACK IN THE RANKINGS
 
Nevada remains among the Mountain West's best across several statistical categories.
 
Backed by the interior presence of Price and Armotrading, the Pack ranks second in blocks per game (4.3), fourth in rebounds per game (37.63), first in free throws made per game (21.3), and free throw attempts per game (28.5).
 
Price (64) and Armotrading (36) lead the team on the glass, while ranking second and third in the conference with 10 and 9 blocks, respectively.
 
Price also leads the Mountain West in free throws made and ranks third in rebounding. Nationally, Nevada stands 16th in free-throw attempts per game and 17th in makes per game.
