Mountain West hitting new heights?

Hey there, and welcome back. The games haven’t restarted yet, so this’ll be a shorter in-season Daily than normal.

Let's get to it.

1. Nevada’s Diamond Head win also a win for the MWC

Nevada made the most of its trip to Hawai’i: Four games, four wins, and a Diamond Head Classic title.

Not a bad way to spend a Christmas holiday.

The Wolf Pack got 30 points from Kenan Blackshear in Sunday’s 72-64 win over Georgia Tech, the second time this season he’s topped 30. He only missed three shots, going 11-of-14 from the field. Nevada (12-1) was 49% overall, and held the Yellow Jackets (8-4) to just .96 points per possession, their worst offensive performance since a loss to Georgia earlier this month.

(Also, props to the Wolf Pack, who are 10-3 vs. the spread this season, a solid indicator of a good team.)

It’s now five in a row for Nevada, which now has wins against schools in the Pac-12 (Washington), Big 12 (TCU) and ACC. That kind of performance has done wonders for Nevada’s NET rating — not to mention the rest of the Mountain West.
