Nevada wins

The opportunity was there.

Multiple times.

Nevada kept feeding the fire by misfiring at the foul line.

However, San Jose State University just couldn't quite get over the hump and fell at home 60-57 to Nevada on Saturday afternoon.

A.J. West, as expected, had a big game with 17 points and 15 boards but none of his Wolf Pack teammates could manage a plus game.

For the Spartans, Darryl Gaynor II busted out for 25 points, including 9-9 at the charity stripe, plus seven rebounds (also nine turnovers that marred his effort) and, likewise, nobody else really stepped up for SJSU.

Other Washington Square plusses: 26 free throw attempts, eight rebounds from Brandon Mitchell in 14 minutes of play, eight points, seven rebounds and three assists from Jaleel Williams.
