WAC's top team, Nevada, rolls to 25th win

Ramon Sessions added 15 points and Marcelus Kemp 14 points as Nevada (25-2, 12-1 Western Athletic Conference) won its eighth game in a row and 18th of the past 19. The Wolf Pack have the best winning percentage in the nation.
It is the fourth straight season Nevada has won at least 25 games.
Nevada earlier this year swept both its games against Hawaii, one in overtime and the other on a controversial call on its home court.
Idaho (3-24, 1-13 WAC) lost its 10th straight, continuing one of the worst seasons in team history. Keoni Watson led the Vandals with 27 points.
Fazekas has 17 double-doubles this season and 58 in his career.
Nevada built a 16-2 lead and the Vandals could not make up the deficit, largely because they shot less than 40 percent for most of the game while the Wolf Pack made 60 percent from the field.
The game was played in a 1,500-seat, 78-year-old bandbox called Memorial Gym because Idaho's normal home floor in the Kibbie Dome was being used Thursday for the annual Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival.
