Nevada’s beats SDSU 75-66, historic night for the program Nevada Men’s Basketball may be in trouble after the regular season
By Derek Raridon
After a lackluster season prior, the Nevada men’s basketball team has made a resurgence in the 2022 to 2023 season. Currently sitting at 22-9 going into the Mountain West Conference Championship, the program has surprised those in and out of Reno with their play. This is especially true for their home games, where they have gone 14-1, something they haven’t done since the 2018 to 2019 season. Yes, the program has definitely been the major highlight of the Nevada winter sports season. However, all trains must come to a stop at some point, and from what it seems, the men’s basketball one will end after March 4. Why is this? How will a program so dominant collapse so soon? The answer is simple, the team is just not that good when it comes to away games, especially recently.

Nevada baseball drops opening series against Abilene Christian, 3-1
By Jalen Robinson
The Nevada baseball team kicked off their season on the road against the Abilene Christian Wildcats in Abilene, Texas this past weekend in a four-game series. With a new head coach, Jake McKinley, now at the helm replacing T.J. Bruce, the Pack looked to get the season kicked off on a good note.
The starter for the first game of the season, Coach McKinley threw out Kade Morris, their preseason All-American right-handed pitcher from Turlock, Calif. Coming off a stellar sophomore campaign, Morris looked to continue his success having eyes on being an All-American but also set on the MLB draft.
After a rough first inning on the hill giving up a run, Morris came back dealing with shutting out the Wildcats in the next three while having run support. The score was 3-1 going into the fifth. The Wildcats would come back and put two on the board now tying the game at three.
The Wolf Pack would put runners on the bases, but couldn’t prevail any runners across after their fourth-inning run. The Wildcats would go on to score two runs at the bottom of the eighth and later closed out the top half of the ninth inning to take game one of the series 5-3.
