Wolf Pack basketball preview: Nevada hosts Pacific in first home contest of year

The Nevada Wolf Pack hosts its first home contest of the season against the Pacific Tigers in Lawlor Events Center at 6 p.m. PST on the Mountain West Network. No fans will be allowed in attendance.

Nevada is coming off two straight victories in the Golden Window Classic versus North Dakota State and Nebraska. The latter portion involved a game-winning 3-pointer by Grant Sherfield with 6.8 seconds remaining, earning the come-from-behind 69-66 victory over the Cornhuskers.

The Wolf Pack entered the 2020-21 without five of their top six scorers from last year. They went 19-12 with a 12-6 Mountain West Conference record, whereas Pacific is coming off a 23-10 season with an 11-5 West Coast Conference record.
