This is Nevada’s eighth straight victory over the Rams, with the last loss coming in the 2015-16 season when the Rams defeated Nevada 76-67 in Fort Collins.
The Wolf Pack held a 19-point lead with 13:11 remaining, coming close to diminishing entirely.
It was when Nevada possessed a 56-39 lead with 8:50 remaining, the deficit began to shrink.
