Nevada tops Air Force 75-68, earns first true road win of season

The Nevada Wolf Pack men’s basketball team continued their successful history over Air Force on Saturday, topping the Falcons 75-68 in Colorado Springs, Colo., to earn their second conference victory of the season.

Despite the shocking 68-66 Falcon upset in Reno in 2020-21, the Pack have still won 11 of their last 12 meetings against Air Force and are now 15-3 in the matchup’s history. Nevada was also 0-3 in true-road games before Saturday’s seven-point victory over Air Force, who’s five-game unbeaten home win streak was snapped Saturday.

Nevada shot 45.5 percent from the floor and just 28.
