A late second-half push awarded Nevada a 79-72 victory over San Diego, behind dominant performances from the dynamic guard duo of Desmond Cambridge Jr. and Grant Sherfield.
USD tied it at 67 after a thunderous two-handed jam from Josh Parrish. A jump hook over the left shoulder of Nevada’s Zane Meeks gave it the 69-67 lead. It extended its advantage to 72-67 lead after a steal from Sherfield, who fed the open Cambridge for a wing 3-pointer.
The Toreros trimmed it to 74-72 with under a 1:36, but weren’t able to muster up a strong enough comeback to earn their first victory of the season.
