ATLANTA – When the NCAA Tournament began, Nevada had the most unique roster of the 68 teams in the tournament. The team consisted of only seven active scholarship players – the NCAA maximum is 13 – and six of those players stood exactly 6-foot-7 (with one 6-3). The Wolf Pack also had four sit-out transfers, four walk-ons, including one who joined the team midyear, and two players on loan from the football team.
