Nevada basketball stuns in March Madness, team looks towards Sweet 16

Nevada men’s basketball bench exploded as the seconds wound down in both of the first two rounds of March Madness. This Nevada team overcame all odds and fought their way back to perform the perfect Cinderella comeback, not once, but twice.

Nevada entered the NCAA Tournament as a 7th seed, still missing key player Lindsey Drew to an injury. Stars such as the Martin twins, Kendall Stephens, Jordan Caroline, and Hallice Cook stepped up filling the gap Drew left with hopes to advance a bit further than last year’s campaign. In 2017, Nevada fell short in the first round of the tournament to Iowa State by 11 points, struggling to keep momentum in their favor.
