Nevada's Marcelus Kemp scored 12 points during limited minutes Thursday night against Fresno State, but his defense did more than enough to give the Wolf Pack a 44-28 lead at halftime at Lawlor Events Center.

Brandon Fields added 11 points, and his layups in transition, with Kemp on the bench with two fouls, extended Nevada's lead.

Kevin Bell and Eddie Miller scored six points for Fresno State.

The Bulldogs were held scoreless for the final 2:05 of the first half. They were also outscored 10-4 in the final 4:33.
