Nevada Tournament Resume

Nevada (25-6, 16-2, 1st Western Athletic Conference)
Seed: #9 Chicago Region
How they got here: At large bid
Against the Field (2-3):
L @Kansas 52-85
L Pacific 69-72
L UTEP 80-83
W @UTEP 62-60
W Vermont 74-64

Tournament Games:
(9) Nevada 61 - (8) Texas 57

The good: Scrappy team that knows how to pull out a lot of close games. 11-2 road record. Fazekas and Pinkney are a nice 1-2 punch. Nice first round draw against Texas.

The bad: Lack of quality competition. Got creamed in the only major conference game they played. One of the few non-conference opponents Kansas blew out. Is the early departure in the WAC tourney a sign of more things to come?
