The end of 2021 wasn’t a good one for the Nevada Wolf Pack.
In a replacement contest for both teams, the sixth-ranked Kansas Jayhawks stormed past Nevada 88-61 on Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan.
Both the Jayhawks and Wolf Pack, both of whom were originally slated to play different opponents before scheduling Wednesday’s replacement game, were both on five-game win streaks. Wednesday’s loss drops Nevada to 6-5 — including 0-4 in Quad 1 or 2 games — heading into Mountain West play; Kansas improves to 10-1 overall with one additional non-conference game remaining.
Kansas has now won 24 straight non-conference games at Allen Fieldhouse, making them 138-5 all-time under Bill Self in non-conference affairs.
