Former Nevada forward JaVale McGee became the second highest drafted basketball player in school history Thursday when the Washington Wizards picked him 18th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Nevada signed three basketball players Monday to letters of intent for the 2008 season, the school announced.
The Wolf Pack signed Joey Shaw (6-foot-6), Dario Hunt (6-foot-8) and Ahyaro Phillips (6-foot-8).
Shaw averaged 16.8 points per game last season with the College of Southern Idaho.
Hunt averaged a double-double last season at Charis Prep School in […]

The Nevada men’s basketball program may have escaped the first major threat of the annual “Mark Fox is leaving the Wolf Pack and the world is over” scare with its head coach still in place, but that doesn’t mean the madness won’t soon win out.

Utah State guard Jaycee Carroll was named to his second All-American team as an honorable mention.
He is just the second Aggie to receive All-American honors for two straight seasons, joining Wayne Estes who did it in 1965.

Maybe it was the time 7-foot-1 and 1/4-inch Nevada center JaVale McGee blocked a 3-point shot, dribbled down for the fast break and slammed it home against Fresno State.

Sure, it’s disappointing that one of the most gifted big men in the country will be training for the NBA Draft instead of an NCAA Tournament run in the next couple months, but McGee did the right thing in heading to the NBA.

Five years ago, when Nevada men’s basketball was about as popular as Nevada baseball, the thought of Pack players leaving school early was preposterous.

Nevada sophomore JaVale McGee signed an agent Saturday and will enter the NBA Draft, Nevada officials confirmed.

McGee, a 7-foot center and second team All-Western Athletic Conference center, told the Web site DraftExpress.net that he hired NFL agent Eugene Parker, which eliminates his collegiate eligibility with the Wolf Pack.

With less than 2 seconds on the clock and the Nevada men’s basketball team trailing Houston 80-79, freshman guard Armon Johnson rose up for a 3-pointer to win the game.

The 4,000-plus fans in attendance let out a gasp as the shot flew through the air as time expired, hoping that somehow the shot would fall and the Wolf Pack’s season would continue.

When Houston men’s basketball coach Tom Penders saw that his team will play Nevada in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational, he was a little down.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State Aggies led the Western Athletic Conference in rebounding this season with 42 per game.

Yeah, the Nevada men’s basketball team’s spot in the College Basketball Invitational is a little disappointing.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - In the last two games against New Mexico State, the Nevada men’s basketball team out-rebounded the Aggies and cruised to double-digit victories.
