The sports were chosen in a systematic way so as to represent [...]

Life is full of small first impressions that end up meaning a lot. Nevada’s season-ending, 84-56 loss at Stanford proved that setting the tone in sports is just as important as making a good impression on the first day of school, with your first love, or when giving that symbolic first handshake to a future [...]

A dear mentor of mine has always told me, “You’re always going to be judged most by the last thing you do. So treat everything like it’s your last.” And I’ve held close to that saying, giving my best at all of life’s endeavors.
But if the Nevada men’s basketball team’s 2011-12 season was encompassed by that same mantra, it would seem like a failure.

Wolf Pack men's basketball players didn’t quite realize it when first questioned, but they’re technically on spring break just like any other Nevada student. It just gets a little convoluted when you’re an NCAA Division I student athlete.

LAS VEGAS — Malik Story sat in a room filled with reporters, reluctantly waiting to field questions on how his team lost to Louisiana Tech and was ousted from the Western Athletic Conference Tournament. His teammate, Olek Czyz, sat next to him, waiting quietly for the same inquiries. Both the junior guard and the senior [...]

Crowning a Western Athletic Conference Tournament champion without that team defeating the regular season WAC Champion is like letting a girlfriend or little brother win when playing sports. Though it’s not pointless or insignificant, it’s just not real. Nevada is better than New Mexico State University, and though the Wolf Pack will have to sit [...]

Though it held no bearing on the Wolf Pack’s stance in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament, winning 79-69 for senior night on Saturday against Louisiana Tech was special for the Wolf Pack.
Nothing could take away Nevada’s status as WAC champs, but the Wolf Pack was playing for something more.

A 65-61 victory against New Mexico State University established Western Athletic Conference supremacy for Nevada, and it epitomized the ongoing theme of the Wolf Pack’s season. It was too close for comfort. A win is a win, and this one gave Nevada (24-5, 12-1 WAC) a championship, but the Wolf Pack came just a play [...]

The Wolf Pack men’s basketball team is one step closer to achieving its goals.
Nevada won a share of the Western Athletic Conference Championship in a triple-overtime effort Saturday against Fresno State, and the 79-76 ending was a crowd pleaser to say the least.

A ranking in the national Top 25 polls would mean a lot to the Nevada men’s basketball team, but after losing on national television 90-84 Saturday to Iona, the team continues to wait for its time to truly shine on a national stage.

Nevada’s game-ending theatrics didn’t materialize in a 90-84 loss at Iona on Saturday. There couldn’t have been a better time for the Wolf Pack to show off its last-minute spectacles since the nationally televised “BracketBuster” contest aired on ESPN 2 and had 13 NBA scouts in attendance, according to the Iona College athletics department.
