“They have something to play for” is among the oldest and most familiar of sports clichés.
But in the case of the Nevada basketball team, it’s not only true, it’s also a massive understatement. The Wolf Pack’s game Saturday night against San Diego State — the final game of the 2018-19 regular season — brings with it a number of possible milestones, along with the potential for a championship.
It will also be the final chance for most Wolf Pack fans to see the team’s seven seniors play in person.
