Nevada beats Air Force with another second-half comeback
The 10th-ranked Nevada men’s basketball team has been a second-half team all season, and the Wolf Pack proved it once again Saturday in a 67-52 victory over Air Force at Lawlor Events Center in Reno.
After a historically poor first-half performance, Nevada cleaned up with another signature second-half comeback, improving to 18-1 overall and 5-1 in the Mountain West Conference.
Nevada trailed 24-20 at halftime with its lowest scoring first-half in the coach Eric Musselman’s four seasons. His team’s next lowest scoring output was 21 points against Coastal Carolina in his coaching debut with Nevada. The Wolf Pack shot 1 of 13 from three-point range and totaled eight turnovers, but outscored Air Force 43-22 in the second half thanks suffocating defense and timely baskets.
