BOXSCORE
Fresno State shot just 25% from the field in the second half, which was why Nevada built a 15-point lead—its biggest of the game—with 13:10 left in the game, after leading by just six at the break. But as we have seen time and time again this season, these young Bulldogs did not give up.
In the next five minutes, the Bulldogs would rally cutting the deficit to six after a Paul George 3-point shot with 8:02 left in the game. A Nedeljko Golubovic a free-throw capped a 11-2 run leaving the ‘Dogs down 52-47.
Nevada would push the lead back to nine only to see FS go on another 11-2 run to cut the lead to just three, 58-55, with 58.8 seconds left in the game after Bryce Cartwright converted a three-point play. But it is as close the ‘Dogs would get.
George finished with a team-high 16 points and nine rebounds. Sylvester Seay added 13 points and eight boards after posting a career-high 32 points on Thursday night against Utah State. Luke Babbitt led the Wolf Pack with 22 points and 13 rebounds
‘Dogs have lost four straight—all in conference—to drop to 7-11, 0-4 in WAC. Fresno State returns to the Save Mart Center Thursday night for a 7 p.m. tipoff versus Louisiana Tech.
