About the Huskies: The Huskies, coming off an 80-52 blowout of San Francisco on Saturday, head into their final non-conference matchup before Pac-10 play begins. The Huskies are looking forward to getting conference play started, as they open next week with USC and UCLA on the road.

About the Wolf Pack: Typically a fairly strong program, Nevada is off to a slow start this season at 3-8. The Wolf Pack is coming off a 79-73 victory over Portland State on Monday, and a narrow 78-75 loss to Arizona State last Friday. The Wolfpack are led in scoring by 6-foot-8 forward Dario Hunt (12.1 ppg) and 6-5 guard Malik Story (13.5 ppg). Nevada is looking to turn around its season, and having Duke transfer Olek Czyz eligible should help. Czyz, a former standout at Reno High in Nevada, has recently become eligible to play for the Wolf Pack and has only played in two games this season, averaging 7.5 ppg.
