With March Madness coming up I decided to make a Nevada version of the old yearly Sports Illustrated March Madness covers they used to make! I used the photos of 172 different Nevada Basketball players to make this! Such a rich history we have in our program!

Not going to repost the video but as a fan you NEVER touch a player or use racist terms toward a player PERIOD. That's just bush league. To see that type of reaction from Caroline, one of the friendliest and most professional people around, speaks volumes.

WOW! Two nights ago it was all Caleb Martin with his 28pt/8reb/3ast/2blk game to lead Miami to a win and now tonight it was all Cody Martin with a 19pt/8reb/5ast/2stl/3blk game to lead Charlotte to a win! Both of these guys are absolutely tearing up the NBA!

20 years ago today, Nevada advanced to the Sweet 16 as a 10 seed after upsetting Gonzaga 91-72 in Seattle. I can’t think of a better way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this team than by repeating history and going to the Sweet 16 as a 10 seed this year!

Nevada’s win over Utah State is the biggest margin of victory over a ranked opponent on the road (14) in school history and it’s the first time the Pack has beaten a ranked opponent on the road since 1981

Tonight is the last night that 7 incredible basketball players will play in Lawlor. These seniors have combined for a CBI Championship, 2 Reg Season MW Championships (a chance for 3 tonight), a MW Tournament Championship, 2 March Madness births with a 3rd coming, and a Sweet 16!
One last Selection Sunday thought. Having 8 road wins, 6 quad 1 wins, a Diamond Head Classic Championship, beating 5 teams in the field (3 of them on the road and 1 of them twice), while finishing with a 26-7 record gets you the last 10 seed makes absolutely no sense

22-6! This win was a huge nod to the character and poise of this team. Not a great 1st half in a classic trap game and they respond by shooting lights out in the 2nd half. Hunter was on fire with 6 threes and Davidson had a monster game with 23 and 15

What an absolute warrior. Averaging 13.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 assists over 11 games with a torn labrum is insane. Tweeted a couple days ago about how he always plays his heart out every game and this just backs that up. What a total beast!
#BattleBorn
Nevada's Nick Davidson had shoulder surgery yesterday to repair an injury suffered Feb. 6 at Utah State. Davidson played the rest of the season with a torn labrum.
Honestly the more I think about it the more I love this for Nevada. Got a great matchup in the favored location and now they feel disrespected and will be playing with a chip on their shoulder
