Dario Hunt and Olek Czyz can hardly believe they will play the final regular season game at Lawlor Events Center in their Nevada Wolf Pack careers on Saturday night.
“It hasn’t struck me yet,” Czyz said. “I haven’t really gotten a chance to stop and think about it.”
“It hasn’t hit me yet,” Hunt said. “But I’m sure on Saturday when I walk out there with my parents it will hit me.” Read more »

Notes and quotes after the Nevada Wolf Pack baseball team’s first weekend series this season at Peccole Park . . .
YRIGOYEN MAKES PITCHING DEBUT: Garrett Yrigoyen’s first trip to the mound in his Wolf Pack career couldn’t have gone any better.
Yrigoyen, who has started at third base the past two seasons at Nevada, pitched 1.2 innings in relief in Saturday’s 9-1 victory over the Utah Valley Wolverines and didn’t allow a baserunner. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior struck out three and tossed 13 of his 21 pitches for strikes. Read more »
The Nevada Wolf Pack baseball team went 2-1 this past weekend in a home series with Utah Valley to push it’s record to 5-2 on the season. Brady Shipley pitched 6 scoreless innings in the Pack’s 6-4 win on Friday. On Saturday, Brooks Klein hit a 3 run homer in the 3rd over the right field fence to spark a 9-1 rout of the Wolverines. The Pack dropped the final home game in the series on Sunday 6-1 as Utah Valley never trailed and got its 2nd win of the season. Silver and Blue Sports Photographer Mark Rauh was on hand Saturday to capture the action. Read more »
The Nevada Wolf Pack men’s basketball team has a lot of respect for the Fresno State Bulldogs.
“They are scrappy,” Pack guard Malik Story said. “They’re small but they play hard.”
The Wolf Pack’s respect for the struggling Bulldogs (12-16, 3-8) stems from three consecutive Wolf Pack losses in northern California. The Wolf Pack (22-5, 10-1), which will play at Fresno State (12-16, 3-8) Saturday night, hasn’t won in Fresno in almost four years (March 8, 2008), since Marcelus Kemp had 25 points and eight rebounds and JaVale McGee had 23 points and 14 boards in a 76-63 win.

The Nevada Wolf Pack baseball team might be looking at the early stages of a Fab Four phenomenon.
Four freshman — Kewby Meyer, Jay Anderson, Kyle Hunt and Austin Byler — have played a huge role in the Wolf Pack’s promising 3-1 start to the 2012 season. Read more »
Brady Shipley is not afraid to ask for what he wants.
“He came to me and said, ‘I want to be the guy,’” Nevada Wolf Pack head baseball coach Gary Powers said. ‘”I want to start on Fridays.’”
Starting the first game of a three-game weekend series is not a role Powers hands out to just anyone who walks into his office. “Not a lot of guys have the courage and confidence to come in and ask to start on Fridays,” Powers said. “For him to do that, it says volumes about him.” Read more »
Twenty-two wins have impressed us with how much this Wolf Pack team has grown. The fifth loss showed us that the Pack still has some work to do before it fully matures…

“It’s the longest I’ve lived in any one place in my life,” the Nevada Wolf Pack center said recently.
Hunt, the son of two Air Force veterans, has only been in Nevada since the summer of 2008. But for the likable 6-foot-8, 230-pounder, that makes him silver and blue through and through. Read more »
It doesn’t bother David Carter at all that his Nevada Wolf Pack isn’t ranked among the Top 25 college basketball teams in the nation.
“I think we’re a very good basketball team but if you look at the teams we’ve beaten, maybe some of those teams aren’t as good as we thought they might be,” the Wolf Pack head coach said. Read more »
