Nevada Basketball: Wolf Pack to host New Mexico in pivotal match-up for first place

The Nevada Wolf Pack (17-4, 6-2), coming off an impressive road victory against Boise State on Wednesday, return to Reno to face off against the New Mexico Lobos (13-8, 6-3) on Saturday afternoon.

This is the first meeting between the schools since the Wolf Pack came back from a 25-point deficit on the road to beat the Lobos in overtime back on January 7th. It is one of the greatest comebacks in college basketball history and the Lobos are looking to get some revenge from that game today.

And if that is not enough motivation for New Mexico, first place in the Mountain West conference is on the line in this meeting today.
