Eric Musselman was borderline apoplectic after Nevada’s loss to rival UNLV on Wednesday night.
He said the Wolf Pack played soft and lacked toughness. He called his players’ effort for loose balls embarrassing. He said the team’s defense and rebounding stunk. This is not abnormal for Musselman after losses. When Nevada wins, he is quick to praise. When Nevada loses, he can make it sound like the team will never win again.
