Fresno State’s season of frustratingly close men’s basketball losses continued Saturday in Reno.
Leading by nine points with 6 minutes, 45 seconds to go, the Bulldogs fell, 78-76, to Jazz Johnson and Nevada in Mountain West action.
It was Fresno State’s seventh game this season decided by a single possession. The Bulldogs’ record is 1-6 in those games.
Bulldogs Fall Short at Free-Throw Line
Fresno State (11-18, 6-11 Mountain West) lost the game at the free-throw line, converting just 12 of 21 attempts.
Johnson scored nine of his 15 points during Nevada’s 16-5 closing run for the Wolfpack’s fifth straight victory witnessed by a crowd of 9,155 at the Lawlor Events Center.
Jalen Harris scored 20 points to lead Nevada (18-10, 11-5). Nisre Zouzoua added 19 points and Lindsey Drew had 15.
Williams Misses 3-Pointer at Buzzer
Jarred Hyder converted a three-point play with about a minute left for Fresno State. But New Williams missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Niven Hart scored 18 points to lead Fresno State. Hyder added 15 points, Orlando Robinson had 13 and Noah Blackwell 12.
