RENO, Nevada (Ticker) -- Nick Fazekas and Nevada have proven
to be very tough at home.

Fazekas and the 21st-ranked Wolf Pack look to continue their
undefeated start at the Lawlor Events Center when they face
Norfolk State on Tuesday.

The reigning Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year, the
6-11 Fazekas has continued to be the top scoring threat for
Nevada, averaging 20.1 points and 8.8 rebounds to start the
season.

In a 68-62 win over Georgia on Wednesday, the junior forward
scored 12 of his 20 points in the second half and pulled down 13
rebounds to record his 60th career double-double.

With the win, the Wolf Pack improved to 4-0 at home this season
and 32-4 here since the start of the 2003-04 campaign.

The Spartans have lost their last four games, including a 63-47
setback to Creighton on Wednesday. Sophomore guard and leading
scorer Tony Murphy scored 18 points, but Norfolk State shot just
34 percent (19-of-56), including 2-of-14 from the arc.

On the season, the Spartans have connected on just 27 percent
(33-of-123) of their shots from long range.

Nevada will be the third ranked opponent for Norfolk State,
which has lost previous meetings to George Washington and Ohio
State by an average of 22 points.
