Hawkins’ 26 lead Utah Valley past Nevada, 73-71

Utah Valley stayed unbeaten with a 73-71 road win over Nevada, building a 17-point first-half lead before holding off a late Wolf Pack rally. Isaac Hawkins led the Wolverines with a career-high 26 points, while Dominick Nelson added 14; Peyton White scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for Nevada, and Styles Phipps led the team with 18 points. Nevada struggled to shoot, making 34% of its field goals and 4 of 26 three-point attempts. Coach Steve Alford said lineup changes could follow, citing the starters’ poor performance and the need for better communication, effort and scoring.
