Nevada's Johnson agrees to new deal

RENO, Nev. -- Nevada coach Trent Johnson agreed to a new
five-year contract worth $450,000 a season Tuesday, staying at the
school he led to the NCAA tournament's final 16 for the first time.

The Wolf Pack have improved each season under Johnson, with
records of 9-20, 10-18, 17-13 and 18-14 before this season's 25-9 --
a best for the team.

Nevada upset Michigan State and Gonzaga in the NCAA tournament
before losing to Georgia Tech.
