Buy PhotoNevada basketball is a Top 25 team again, and the goal this time is to stay ranked for more than a week.
On Monday, the Wolf Pack (18-3, 7-0 Mountain West) was voted into the AP Top 25 in 23rd place. It was the second time this season Nevada has hit the Top 25. It debuted at No. 22 in the AP Top 25 in early December after beginning the season with eight straight wins.
