FRESNO, Calif. — Marvelle Harris scored 18 points to move into fourth place on the Fresno State list of all-time top scorers and the Bulldogs rolled past Nevada, 85-63, in a Mountain West Conference contest Wednesday night at Save Mart Center.
Fresno State (10-5, 1-1) rebounded from what it considered a very poor showing in a loss to New Mexico in its last game when it fell behind by 24 points in the second half.
Harris came into the game two points shy of tying Carl Ray Harris.
He shot 7 of 15 from the floor, grabbed seven rebounds and passed out seven assists. Karachi Edo contributed 15 points.
Marqueze Coleman scored 22 points and Cameron Oliver added 13 for Nevada (9-5, 1-1), which entered the game averaging a conference-best 79.6 points per game, but was just 18 of 51 from the field and 1 of 13 from 3-point range.
NOTES: Coleman now has 13 double-figure scoring games this season, and he eclipsed the 20-point plateau for the seventh time this season. He had 13 in the first half which was a personal best ... Oliver has a block in every Nevada game this year, and he has two or more in 11 contests.
Eric Cooper, after going 2-for-12 in his last two games, went 3-for-8 from the field and hit all four charity shots to finish with 10 points... Freshman Lindsey Drew tied for team honors with six rebounds... The Wolf Pack will return to action when it takes on Air Force at 11 a.m. on Jan. 9.
