Fresno State Bulldogs vs. Nevada Wolf Pack

Breakdown: Bulldogs

The Fresno State women’s basketball team will look to continue to extend its school record to 13 straight wins on Saturday’s Pink Zone Night as they take on the Nevada Wolf Pack at the Save Mart Center.

The ‘Dogs defeated Nevada in last month’s Western Athletic Conference contest in a well-rounded 75-66 game.

Head coach Adrian Wiggins saw five of his players score in double figures in the Jan. 21 matchup, anchored by Jaleesa Ross’ 20 points, 18 coming from 3-pointers.

Ross is averaging 18.3 points-per game for the 21-5 Bulldogs who have not lost to a WAC opponent since falling in a March 2, 2009 game to Louisiana Tech.

The ‘Dogs defense will be key Saturday after the last meeting with the Wolf Pack, where they forced 20 turnovers and held as much as a 17-point lead at one point.

Senior forward Joh-Teena Filipe also had a big game against the Wolf Pack last month, tying her career-high with 16 points.

Breakdown: Wolf Pack

The Wolf Pack come in ranked second in the Western Athletic Conference, behind only Fresno State, with a 9-3 conference record and a 15-11 overall record.

Nevada looks to post its first win over the Bulldogs since January 15, 2007, when they took home a seven-point victory. If Nevada wins Saturday, it will have tied a school record for conference wins with 10.

Three players average at least 10 points per game for the Pack, led by junior college transfer guard Tahnee Robinson’s 15.9 scoring average.

Head coach Jane Albright’s squad is coming off a 20-point victory over Hawai’i in its own “Pink Game,” winning 76-56 on 40.1 percent shooting.

Nevada’s strength is on the boards where the Pack’s 41.0 rebound average is 5.9 more than their 2009-10 opponents. Forward Kayla Williams leads the Wolf Pack in that category with 7.2 rebounds per game.

The Pack are 4-2 in WAC road games this season.
