Despite the combination of Desmond Cambridge’s career night with a late Wolf Pack run, the Colorado State Rams were able to hold off Nevada 82-72 Tuesday night at Lawlor Events Center in Reno, Nev.
Nevada, who’s now concluded a four-game-in-seven-day stretch, trailed by as much as 18 with over 12 minutes remaining, but timely baskets — spearheaded by Cambridge, who posted a career-high 36 points on a near-perfect 13-of-15 shooting with seven 3-pointers — helped slice the led to eight with 3:45 remaining.
The Wolf Pack were within even six with 44 seconds remaining, but the late surge wasn’t enough to climb atop the hill, dropping their sixth straight outing.
