Nevada head coach Kim Gervasoni, who improved her record each season with the Wolf Pack, resigned Thursday because of personal reasons.

Groth said the environment at the tournament was hostile and unsafe. She said that New Mexico State fans were acting in a way that didn’t represent themselves well.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Nevada women’s basketball coach Kim Gervasoni was very honest with the media after her team’s season ended with an early departure in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The Nevada women’s basketball team was down seven when guard Dellena Criner picked up her second foul and sat the remaining five minutes of the half on the bench.
When Criner and her teammates trotted off the floor at halftime, Nevada was down 17.
The Wolf Pack couldn’t overcome the first half deficit […]

Nevada women’s basketball coach Kim Gervasoni was going through the hardest time of her life when her husband and assistant coach, Mike, died in a car wreck in 2004.

Nevada’s poor shooting stopped the Wolf Pack from beating Fresno State. The Wolf Pack made 26-of-69 shots as a team from the floor in its 82-68 loss on senior night against Fresno State.

Nevada women’s basketball center Sabrina Keys bounced to the baseline Saturday and nailed a 20-foot jumper, exploiting the Vandals’ zone defense and displaying her improved left leg.

Keys has had a myriad of injuries throughout her basketball career, including a hyperextension in her leg.

Johnna Ward scores 22 against Boise State, scoreless vs. Idaho

Johnna Ward had no room to get open Saturday because every time she got space Idaho’s coach Mike Divilbiss yelled, “double her, she’s a shooter.” Divilbiss was reacting to Ward’s career-high 22 points Thursday against Boise State, where Nevada lost to the Broncos, 80-69.

Mikail Price is the senior starting point guard for the most successful Nevada women’s basketball team in school history, but it almost didn’t happen.

“I wasn’t interested (in sports) after I graduated from high school,” Price said. “I wanted to focus on school. I didn’t want to play basketball at all. I didn’t even like track (in high school), but I did it.”

Price was captain of her high school basketball team, but when she got to Foothill Junior College she wanted to quit.

For much of this season the women’s basketball team was looking like it would play in the NCAA Tournament, more so than the men.

So just when we think that the women’s team is for real, taking down last year’s Western Athletic Conference champion last week, it gets served in a 32-point loss to Fresno State.

Then you think there might be a weakness, but they hold Utah State to 55 points and win by 20.

The women’s basketball team is just looking for a little love. That’s all.

They say they have some pretty good players and together they have a fast-paced system that’s fun to watch.

They know they are preaching to the people who think they’re garbage or that girls can’t play basketball in Nevada. Women can play solid basketball for teams like UConn or Tennessee, but not Nevada?

The Nevada women’s basketball team won its ninth straight home game Saturday by beating New Mexico State 83-76 in overtime, at Lawlor Events Center.
“I’m on a high right now,” forward Cherlanda Franklin said. “We played our butts off.”  The men’s basketball team won at Louisiana Tech, 83-70.
The women’s team outscored the Aggies 13-6 in overtime. Mikail Price led […]

Injuries have altered Sabrina Keys’ role for Nevada.

She is no longer the low post threat she was when she helped Purdue go to the Elite Eight in 2003. She is also not going to average 18 points and 15 rebounds per game as she did when she was a senior in high school and a McDonald’s All-American finalist.
What Keys now offers is senior leadership.

“I’m not going to be the same player as before,” Keys said. “I know my role now. My success doesn’t matter as long as the team does well. I care more about the team.”

The small-town girl has finally made it to the big city.

Johnna Ward, who dominated the Class 3A during her four years of high school for the Spring Creek Spartans, has already started to stand out for Kim Gervasoni’s basketball team this season.
