RENO, Nev. – The Nevada women's basketball game against 11-time National Champion UConn on Tuesday, Nov. 28 has been selected for a national telecast by CBS Sports Network.
"Having a nationally televised game for the first time in program history is a great opportunity to showcase the city of Reno, the University of Nevada and our women's basketball program," said first-year Wolf Pack head coach
Amanda Levens.
