Preview: Nevada Wolf Pack vs. McNeese State Cowgirls TEMPE, Ariz. (Interstat) — The Nevada women’s basketball team looks to snap a three-game skid when it faces McNeese State in a nonconference matchup at Mullett Arena on Saturday. The Wolf Pack (4-5) are coming off a 68-45 home loss to San Francisco on Friday. Nevada has struggled offensively during its losing streak, failing to reach 60 points in any of the three contests. McNeese State (5-2) enters with momentum after a 67-52 road victory at Utah Tech on Tuesday. The Cowgirls have won four of their last five games, with the lone loss in that stretch coming on the road against Power Five opponent West Virginia. A key matchup will feature Nevada guard Chloe Williams against McNeese State’s Kaili Chamberlin. Williams, a consistent scorer for the Wolf Pack, is averaging 9.8 points over her last five games. She posted nine points and three blocks in 20 minutes against San Francisco. Chamberlin is coming off a season-high 13 points in 25 minutes in the win at Utah Tech. Her production has increased recently, providing a boost for the Cowgirls’ backcourt. Nevada will need to improve its offensive efficiency after shooting poorly in recent losses. The Wolf Pack have relied on defense, keeping three of their last five opponents under 60 points, but their own scoring droughts have proven costly. McNeese State has shown a balanced attack, with Arianna Patton (14 points) and Allasia Washington (12 points) joining Chamberlin in double figures against Utah Tech. The Cowgirls have also demonstrated defensive prowess, holding three opponents to 52 points or fewer this season. This neutral-site game in Tempe is a final nonconference tune-up before both teams return to their respective geographic regions for upcoming schedules. Nevada begins a stretch of four straight road games after this contest, while McNeese State heads home for two games next week. Tipoff is set for Saturday afternoon.
