When the Wolf Pack shares the ball, they’re the best team in the Western Athletic Conference.
The Wolf Pack was as dominant in wins against San Jose State, Hawaii, and Utah State as last year’s team ever was.
The reason - the Wolf Pack dished out 24 assists in all three games.
No team in the league can match up with the Wolf Pack one-on-one when the offense flows as a unit.
Marcelus Kemp, Brandon Field, Armon Johnson and JaVale McGee are all too explosive to guard with a single man. The raw talent on the floor is ridiculous.
The only time that gets neutralized is when the Wolf Pack becomes more interested in winning battles individually instead of making defenses try to guard everyone.
The Wolf Pack played horribly in the first game against Utah State, and it was because of poor shot selection and horrible ball movement in the opening minutes.
On Monday, it’s the reason the Pack won. Utah State shot a better percentage from the field and rebounded better than Nevada, but the Wolf Pack managed 24 assists with only four turnovers.
That shows real growth, because there’s no way this team was capable of that even a month ago.
Kemp and Armon Johnson has six assists each and only one turnover combined on Monday, and backcourt efficiency like that is pretty hard to beat.
Kemps’ 35 probably didn’t hurt either.
And damn do those silver uniforms look good.

I have a question Garrett… if we can pull out a win tonight in Boise that will give us a record of 9-3. as yoou already know Utah St. has a record of 8-2. so what is a better record to have, and to be more specific, who is in first place with records of 9-3 and 8-2?
