Final: Nevada 26, SDSU 21. Nevada denies SDSU from scoring on a first-and-goal situation from the 4-yard line (SDSU missed a wide-open pass for a TD on third down and threw it out of the end zone on fourth down). Nevada moves to 5-0, its best start since 2010. Next up: at Hawaii

How crazy of a thought is this? The Wolf Pack is just four victories away from being the national champions of college basketball.

That win should secure Nevada’s spot in the NCAA Tournament barring multiple Quad 3/4 losses down the stretch. Also puts Wolf Pack in the driver’s seat to win the Mountain West regular-season title given remaining schedule. Nevada (19-6, 9-3 MW) only a half game behind SDSU now.

Loyola coach Porter Moser, on Nevada: "They have a bunch of guys who are mismatch nightmares, and that's why they're so hard to guard and why they have one of the best offenses in the nation." He also pronounces Nevada correctly.

Out at Mackay Stadium to tape our Mountain West football preview show, and the finishing touches are being put on Nevada’s new playing surface. Last time the Wolf Pack got new turf was before the 2010 season.

Free tuition for a year for the homie who just sank a halfcourt shot at halftime. When I was in the eighth grade, I won free dinner at some Mexican restaurant during a game at Lawlor. About the same value there.
