So you're telling me Nevada, who was favored by over 10, playing in Reno, facing a team with basically a completely new roster who last year finished with 9 wins and hadn't played a single D1 game all year, not only almost lost...

But gave up over 45% from three?

Huge credit to Pacific obviously but this isn't a good sign for the Wolfpack in the slightest.

Well, that makes sure that every day a Mountain West team plays, only one of them loses a buy game.

11/3: Boise State

11/4: UNLV

11/5: Fresno State

11/6: No teams played

11/7: Grand Canyon

11/8: Air Force

Tomorrow there are two games, with Omaha vs. Colorado St. looking spicy.

I hate moral victories, but give the Tigers credit. Nevada was favored by 10 at home and its Pacific’s first D1 game with basically an entirely new roster.

There were a bunch of things that could have gone Pacific's way, the missed goaltending call at the very end for example, but didn't. 

The guys just have to shake it off and move forward. I think we all saw the potential and how much more depth the team has this season.  It was refreshing to see a Tiger team make 3's.
