The poor performance of the shooting and the poor protection led to the worst defeat of Nevada for the season.
San Diego State competes Nevada, 69-50, on Saturday in front of 9058 fans, many of whom left in the middle of the second half of the match.
The 50 missed points are the lowest points scored by Lowler’s Wolf Pack team, 46.
Justin McBride led a pack of 13 points, Kobe Sanders scored 12, and Xavier Dussell added 11 points. Sanders had the best for the team eight fights.
The pack made only 15 of the 51 field goals (29 percent). 29 percent is the worst performance of a basketball team in Nevada since March 2015. The Pack scored 5 out of 26 of the 3 -point line. Nevada fell to 3-6 in Mountain West, a total of 11-9.
Nevada coach Steve Alford said the pack should play faster and more freely.
“We have to be more mentally firmly,” Alford said. “When you want to blow it like that, and suddenly they start a series of 13-0. We have to be firmer enough until they score two consecutive goals, but not three consecutive times we do not have this cohesion and durability that we must have. “
He said the pack should learn to play in bad strokes and stop worrying about how they deal with an attack.
Magoon Gwath led San Diego State with 15 points, and Taj Degourville had 14, while the Aztecs improved to 5-4 in Mountain West, a total of 13-5. There were also 13 rebounds.
The lowest number of Wolf Pack points for the previous season was 57 for a 68-57 loss to Washington State on December 2.
Key statistics
The shooting 15 of 51 tells the story as well as the points in the paint, as the Aztecs had 36 there, up to 12 for the wolf pack.
Nevada was good from the free line, hitting 15-from-22 from the tape, up to 6-from-8 for the Aztecs.
San Diego State has made 27 of 56 goals per game (48 percent) and 9 out of 25 out of 3 points.
Each team had 10 confusion.
First half
San Diego State led 28-21 at halftime. The wolf pack scored 7-from-23 of the field and was 2-from-11 of 3 points. The Aztecs scored 11 out of 27 goals of the game and were 4-13 of the line for 3 points.
Veterans
Alford admitted that making the transfer players get closer to the returned ones, it was difficult after Pack entered the conference.
“It’s much harder to mix these guys than they can,” he said. “They really aren’t as mature as their age seems.”
He said that the returning players need to know what is expected of them and the hardness he wants to see.
Followed
Nevada’s next match is in Boyzi State, with the advice scheduled for 7:00 pm on Wednesday.
Broncos are 5-4 in MW, a total of 13-7, after losing from Colorado State by 75-72 on Wednesday (January 22).
Alford said that there may be some changes to the composition and that everything is on the table.
