Ryan Freeberg/Nevada Sagebrush. Nevada’s Jalen Harris (No. 2) and No. 15 Zane Meeks dives for the ball against a Cal State, East Bay defender. Nevada men’s basketball played its first game in the Steve Alford era on Saturday night against the Pioneers.

In the first game since losing to Florida in the NCAA Tournament last season, Nevada basketball took the court. The Pack defeated California State East Bay 81-52, in an exhibition game at Lawlor Events Center.

Junior guard Jalen Harris, a Louisiana Tech transfer who sat out last season due to the NCAA transfer rules, led the Pack with 21 points on 6-13 shooting—including 3-5 from deep—along with eight rebounds.
