Not even a 22-point second-half deficit could keep No. 7 seed Nevada from advancing past No. 2 Cincinnati on Sunday.
The Wolf Pack made that seemingly insurmountable deficit disappear and rallied to win 75-73 by using an incredible 32-8 run over the game's final 10 minutes and 49 seconds. Nevada's Josh Hall put the exclamation on the finish by hitting the go-ahead bucket with 9 seconds remaining. It was the only time in the game that Nevada held a lead.
