It was a fairly even affair in the first half with teams trading blows and 6 lead changes, but Nevada jacked up some quick threes in the last minute and a half to take their largest lead of the night into the locker room, 35-29. UNR’s Caleb Martin was feeling it, and he was responsible 3 of Nevada’s 6 first half 3-pointers and led all scorers at the half with 13. For the Broncos, both Hutchison and Sengfelder chipped in 8 but the team’s 17% 3-point shooting wasn’t going to get it done with the Wolf Pack dropping treys at a clip above 40%.
First place battle lives up to hype, but Bronco turnovers sink their chances in Reno
