Good thing for Nevada the CBI championship series is a best-of-three format rather than one-and-done.
The Wolf Pack fell to Morehead State, 86-83, on Monday night before 4,187 fans at Ellis T. Johnson Arena in Morehead, Ky., but still has a chance to win its first postseason title if it simply sweeps its two games at home, the first coming Wednesday and the second Friday if Nevada can force a third game.
The Wolf Pack, which was carried by Tyron Criswell, played one of its best offensive games of the season but didn’t get enough stops and was undone by a career night by Lyonell Gaines.
