Nevada, Washington State Seek Momentum in Nonconference Clash NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. (Interstat) — The Nevada Wolf Pack and Washington State Cougars, teams trending in opposite directions, meet in a nonconference men’s basketball game Sunday at Beasley Coliseum. Nevada (6-3) arrives with a winning record, having secured victories in four of its last five contests. The Wolf Pack are coming off a 76-70 home win over UC San Diego on Tuesday, where balance was key. Tayshawn Comer had 12 points and six assists, Corey Camper added 15 points and Vaughn Weems scored 11. Comer, a guard, has been a consistent catalyst for Nevada. Over his last eight games, he is averaging 14.8 points and 4.4 assists, including a 23-point, 7-assist performance in a season-opening overtime win against Southern Illinois. Washington State (3-6) looks to halt a three-game skid, most recently a 60-64 loss at Bradley on Tuesday. The Cougars have struggled defensively, allowing an average of 81.2 points per game during their current losing streak. The Cougars’ bright spot has been the explosive scoring of guard Ace Glass III. He poured in a career-high 40 points in a narrow 100-94 road loss to Arizona State on Nov. 25 and is averaging 19.3 points over his last four outings. His offensive output will be critical for a Washington State team seeking consistency. The game represents a final tune-up before both teams enter extended stretches against conference opponents. Nevada, a member of the Mountain West, will host Duquesne next Saturday before a showdown with league foe Boise State on Dec. 20. Washington State of the Pac-12 travels to face Southern California next Sunday. Sunday’s contest pits Nevada’s recent stability against Washington State’s search for a complete performance. The Wolf Pack will aim to leverage their balanced attack and winning momentum, while the Cougars hope Glass and home-court advantage at Beasley Coliseum can spark a turnaround. Tip-off is scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
