RENO, Nev. (AP) — Deonte Burton poured in a game-high 28 points, including the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift Nevada over Chattanooga 83-81 Friday night.
The Wolf Pack (3-2) shot 51.7 percent from the field, just outperforming Chattanooga’s 50 percentage.
Chattanooga (2-3) led by as much as eight, but Nevada wouldn’t go away, taking a 79-78 lead after a Michael Perez layup.
After a split pair of free throws from Burton, Z. Mason made a 3-pointer to give the Mocs the lead.
Mason was sent to the line after a series of turnovers, but he missed both free throws with eight seconds left.
