After outscoring the Lopes 41-2, the Pack now has a 9-2 record, with more bench points than its opponents this season.

FRESHMAN SPARK
Nevada's freshmen keep making an impact on the team to help the Pack secure wins this season.
Peyton White has entered all 21 games this season, averaging 16.7 minutes per contest. The freshman recorded a career high of 15 points against UC Davis on Nov. 18 and nine rebounds against UC San Diego on Dec. 2.
