When the Nevada basketball team reached four straight NCAA Tournaments from 2003-07, opposing teams simply didn’t leave Lawlor Events Center with a victory.
Nevada went 15-0, 13-4, 17-1 and 15-1 at home those four seasons, posting a 60-6 record and winning percentage of 90.9. That home-court advantage faded the further away the Wolf Pack got from those tournament teams, but coach Eric Musselman promised to return the home-court edge to Nevada when he was hired in March 2015.
“This building has been rocking before,” Musselman said the day he was introduced as Nevada's coach.
Musselman has made good on that promise.
