Nevada looks for continued success on the road

Dec 30, 2006 - 4:41 PM No. 18 Nevada (11-1) at Gonzaga (9-4) 6:00 pm EST

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Nevada has picked up some impressive wins on the road this season.

The 18th-ranked Wolf Pack will look to keep that stellar play going against Gonzaga on Saturday.

Nevada is 5-0 away from the Lawlor Events Center this season, including wins over Pac-10 Conference squads Oregon State and California.

The Wolf Pack captured their fourth straight win on Thursday, as Marcelus Kemp scored a game-high 20 points and Nick Fazekas added 18 in an easy 89-69 victory over Maine.

Nevada finished sharp from the floor, shooting 34-of-57 (60 percent) while Maine struggled, only connecting on 25-of-65 shots (39 percent). Kemp, a junior guard, went 6-of-15, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range, and sank all five of his free throws.

The Bulldogs are playing their fourth ranked opponent of the season. They beat North Carolina and rival Washington before dropping a 61-54 decision against Duke at Madison Square Garden on December 21.

Jeremy Pargo scored 21 points for Gonzaga, which has lost three of its last four contests since starting the season at 8-1. With their skid, the Bulldogs have lost three in a row for the first time since a three-game road skid from December 9-20, 2000.

Gonzaga leads the all-time series, 4-3.
