What Went Right

Just about everything went right for Nevada in this one. As I mentioned before, 12/13 players for Nevada scored points tonight. Jarod Lucas, Kenan Blackshear, and Tyler Rolison all led the team in points by scoring 12 each.

Nick Davidson had himself a game, scoring 11 points with nine rebounds, two assists, and three blocks. The Wolf Pack has a whole picked up nine blocks against the Tigers.

Nevada shot 50 percent from the field throughout the whole game. The free throw game continued to be on point for Nevada, as the team shot 14-18 from the free throw line.

What Went Wrong

I mean, what could you say went wrong here? A 49-point win at home is incredible. 12 different players scoring shows just how deep this Nevada team is. It’s still early so knock on wood, but so far, this is a team built for a NCAA Tournament run.

We can highlight the three-point shooting again, which has been slow in the first three games. Tonight, Nevada shot 6-20 from the three. There’s a positive to that, however. Nevada’s 30 percent shooting from the three is the best it's been in the first three games. It’s maybe slow, but the three-point game is getting there.

What’s Next

Nevada will stay home at Lawlor this Saturday to take on Portland. The Pilots are 3-1 after taking a 75-65 loss to Tennessee State tonight.

Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. PST, and it sounds like there was no bats in Lawlor tonight, so we might be free!
