Grant Sherfield: B
Sherfieldâs 25 points against San Diego State on Friday were a bit misleading. Yes, they certainly look good on the stat sheet but they are empty calorie points just the same. Sherfield had just six points at halftime, all on free throws, after missing all six of his shots in the first half. He then scored 11 points in the last 9:38 as the Pack did little more than keep the score respectable. He missed three straight shots while the Aztecs were building their lead to 60-47 midway through the second half. The Pack point guard was just 6-of-15 from the floor against the Aztecs, padding his numbers at the line (11-of-14). The night before against Boise, though, Sherfield was brilliant, despite turning the ball over five times. He scored just one more point (26) against the Broncos than he did against the Aztecs, but he was much more efficient, draining 8-of-14 shots and making all three of his 3-pointers.
The Nevada Wolf Pack men’s basketball team fell short of completing its 21-point comeback attempt, falling 75-72 to the Utah State Aggies Friday evening in Logan, Utah. Nevada has its four-game win.
Nevada Men s Basketball at Utah State - Game 1
LOGAN Utah State faced a must-win game as it returned to the Dee Glenn Smith Spectrum for its first home game since Jan. 21 amid a snow storm that hit Cache Valley.
Like the blizzard outside, Nevada hit the Aggies with force that threatened to hand Utah State only its second three-game losing streak under second-year coach Craig Smith.
But also like the storm outside, Utah State plowed through.
Justin Bean had 19 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals, and Neemias Queta added 16 points, 17 rebounds and three blocks as Utah State held on for win over the Wolf Pack, 75-72, Friday night to keep pace with the top three in the Mountain West Conference.

After an award-winning career in journalism, Martin Baron is retiring as executive editor of The Washington Post.Washington Post photo by Marvin Joseph.
In an opening scene of Spotlight, the newsroom of the Boston Globe has gathered to bid farewell to a retiring reporter at a caking - a time-honored office ritual involving tears, laughs, awkward speeches and a sheet cake. After a few wisecracks about poker games and old age, investigations editor Walter V. Robby Robinson, played by Michael Keaton, notes that the Globe s enigmatic new top editor is arriving in a few days. Forgive me buddy, but I gotta ask, he says with mock suspicion to his departing colleague. What the hell do you know?
