While Nevada
hasn’t looked great all season long, they still waltzed through an
underappreciated WAC with relative ease. The Wolf Pack has seven players
who have started at least a dozen games and five of them are upperclassmen.
That experience will be invaluable. Nick Fazekas would be a star at just
about any school and his 20 points and 10 boards will be scary for anybody
to see in their bracket. The main problems are three-point shooting and
forcing turnovers. While the long range shooting percentage isn’t bad,
Nevada just doesn’t take that many. Kyle Shiloh and Marcelus Kemp are the
only options.
