No. 11 Nevada beat Boise State, 95-81

BOISE, Idaho -- Senior forward Nick Fazekas scored 28 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead No. 11 Nevada to a 95-81 win over Boise State tonight.

Fazekas led five players in double figures and the Wolf Pack won their ninth straight game.

Nevada (26-2, 13-1 Western Athletic Conference) has lost just one road game, at New Mexico State. Nevada beat Hawai'i in overtime at Hawai'i. It also beat Hawai'i in Reno on a controversial call at the end. Nevada plays its third straight road game at Utah State before getting a rematch with New Mexico State at home March 3.

Fazekas, a 2005 and 2006 conference player of the year, overcame a slow start to score seven points in the last 3 minutes of the first half and 15 points in the second half.

Ramon Sessions added 17 points, Denis Ikovlev had 14, Kyle Shiloh 12 and Marcelus Kemp 10.

Matt Nelson and Coby Karl paced Boise State (16-11, 8-6) with 19 points apiece.
