Two years later, it still has the power to surprise.

Did it really happen? Did Nevada really come back from a 25-point deficit with just 11 minutes to play to stun New Mexico in overtime, 105-104, on Jan. 7, 2017, in Albuquerque?

Yes, it really did happen. It might never happen again, but it really did on that one unforgettable night for the Wolf Pack, the Lobos, and college basketball fans across the country.

Now, across a distance of two years, Nevada is returning to the scene of its miracle comeback.
