Nevada gets the ultimate test

Posted Dec 31, 2008
For the fourth time in six seasons, the Nevada basketball team will face the No. 1 team in the country. But the Wolf Pack has never had a challenge quite like this one. When Nevada laces 'em up at 7:05 p.m. tonight at Lawlor Events Center, standing on the other side of the court will be a North Carolina team that has steam-rolled its foes in piling up a 12-0 record. "It's going to be a real tough challenge," Nevada's Luke Babbitt said. "Obviously they're a great team." (Reno Gazette-Journal)
