LOS ANGELES – Minutes after the clock struck midnight, the Nevada basketball team needed a miracle.
Down four points to TCU with 2.8 seconds remaining, the Wolf Pack was inbounding the ball after the game had drug from Friday night into Saturday morning. Coming out of a timeout, Nevada required a full-court heave to somehow turn into a four-point play to force overtime, a most unlikely occurrence.
Cody Martin cocked his right arm and chucked the ball toward Jordan Caroline near the 3-point line, but no miracle materialized. The pass was intercepted by TCU’s Jaylen Fisher and the clock expired, ending No.
