FINAL: Nevada 64, Fresno State 57
LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- Alex Blair scored a career-high 14 points and Kevin Bell became Fresno State's all-time assists leader, but neither could stop JaVale McGee from making his impact in the WAC quarterfinals.
The 7 foot forward from Nevada scored 22 points to lead No. 2 seed Nevada to a 64-57 win over No. 7 Fresno State at the Pan American Center.
Nevada advances to play No. 3 seed New Mexico State Friday in the WAC semifinals.
Fresno State coach Steve Cleveland ends his third season with a 13-19 record, his first losing mark in Fresno.

Ok I think it's finally time to get a new coach. It just so happens that Vance Walberg is available!!
I'm a red waver for life but the men's basketball team is a joke! They can't even compete in the WAC. They have the same commitment to excellence that the Raiders have!!
I'm tired of hearing "oh it was another tought loss". 19 losses in a season means "we suck"!
Wiggins has built the women into a contender and most of the team are his recruits and freshmen. Cleveland has done nothing with his recruits. Cleveland has had 3 years already and he is back to square one!! If you wonder why the athletic department is losing money it's because who wants to see a losing team that can't even compete in the WAC which isnt even a high power league! One and done in the WAC tournament was not a surprise to me. The team doesnt play together.
The players we had this season were good but the coach is the one that molds them together. The players did a great job. I'm just talking about the coach. It's time to change with the times and get a coach that can mold a team into a cohesive unit. Walberg is that type of coach!
