The lowdown
2000-01 record: 10-18; 3-13 in WAC (9th)
Final Ranking: NR
Postseason: None
Three Questions for 2001-02
1. Will the Wolf Pack have enough depth to compete this season? Do they have the experience?
2. Who will score in the frontline? Can they stop players like Fresno State's Melvin Ely?
3. Do they have a reliable wing to score? Can Terrance Green and Andre Hazel be go-to players on the wings?
Andy Katz's Scenarios
Best case: Nevada doesn't finish last and makes a run at 8th, but out of the postseason.
Worst case: The Wolf Pack struggle to score and finish in last.
