Nevada Falls In Another Upset On The Road in 83-73 Loss To Wyoming

Nevada has looked like two different teams this year between its home and road games. At home, the Wolf Pack are 14-2 and consistently look like an energized team. Only one of those two home losses is from a conference opponent.

1st Half

Wyoming’s offense started hot within the first three minutes, scoring 11 points while making three shots from beyond the arc. The momentum just kept rolling for the Cowboys up until the first media timeout with a 15-4 lead.

Nevada scored those four points within the first two minutes and went stagnant from there. The trend of sloppy ball protection and untimely shots on the road stuck through the first few minutes of this one. Nevada broke the scoring drought of over three minutes with a floater by Corey Camper Jr. to give Nevada six.

Camper Jr. gave Nevada its first three of the game to cut it down to a one-point deficit. It was a 15-14 game after that three, and by the time Steve Alford had to call a timeout with under nine minutes to go, it was a 29-14 lead for Wyoming. Myles Walker came off the bench and broke another offensive skid for the Pack with a layup to give them 16 points.

The Cowboys kept knocking them down from deep, making seven three pointers in the first half. Guard Khaden Bennett made six of those seven in those first 20 minutes. Nevada shot 42 percent from the field and 33 percent from three. Nevada also only shot 6-11 from the free-throw line.
