RENO, Nev. — Former Jeffersonville star and Nevada sophomore Tre Coleman went scoreless in 27 minutes Wednesday evening, but his Wolf Pack won their fourth straight game, 98-62 over Minnesota-Duluth at the Lawlor Events Center.
After starting the season 1-4, the Wolf Pack are now 5-4 on the season.
Coleman went 0 for 5 from the field but did grab 3 rebounds and blocked a shot. Nevada’s other four starters scored in double figures. Junior guard Grant Sheffield had a big night with 28 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists. He was 10 for 16 from the field and made 2 of his 3 3-pointers in the win. Senior Desmond Cambridge Jr. had a season-high 25 points and junior center Will Baker had 17 and junior guard Kevin Blackshear 13 for Nevada, which out-rebounded the previously-unbeaten Bulldogs 56-29.
The Pack shot 51.5 percent from the floor (35 of 68), 41.7 percent from behind the 3-point arc (10 for 24) and 75 percent of their free throws (18 for 24) in the win.
Sophomore forward Charlie Katona led Minnesota-Duluth with 15 points and junior guard Drew Blair had 14 in defeat.
Nevada will look to make it five in a row Saturday when they host Loyola Marymount at 11 p.m. locally. Coleman and the Pack can be seen on CBS Sports Network.
