Nevada will try to advance to the quarterfinals of the NIT when the Wolf Pack hosts Liberty in a second-round NIT men's basketball game on Saturday at Lawlor Events Center.
Nevada got a huge second-half effort to beat Murray State, 89-75, on Wednesday in a first-round game.
The winner of the Nevada-Liberty game will face the winner of the Auburn-Seattle University game (3:30 p.m. Sunday; TV- ESPN2).
If Auburn wins Sunday, the No. 1 seed Tigers would host a quarterfinal game on either Tuesday or Wednesday. If Auburn loses to Seattle U on Sunday, and No. 2 seed Nevada wins, the Wolf Pack could host the quarterfinal game.

Nevada basketball vs. Liberty: Three keys to victory and a prediction
The Nevada men’s basketball team plays Liberty on Saturday in the NIT’s first round. Nevada Sports Net’s Chris Murray breaks down the game with his three keys to victory and prediction. This feature is presented in partnership with Bradley, Drendel & Jeanney.
1. Defensive discipline for 30 seconds: Liberty’s offense has been outstanding. The Flames are third in the nation in two-point shooting (62.3 percent), third in 3-point shooting (39.7 percent) and fifth in turnovers (just 8.8 per game). It’s rare to see a team rank top five in the nation in all three categories, and it adds up to a Liberty offense that’s 41st in the nation in points per possession (Nevada is 97th). Liberty moves the ball really well, with the Flames averaging 17.2 assists on 27.8 made baskets each game (61.9 percent of its makes, compared to Nevada’s 57 percent). Despite having an electric offense, Liberty doesn’t play fast. In fact, the Flames rank 339th out of 365 D-I schools in adjusted tempo. Nevada must defend with discipline for the entire 30-second shot clock to slow down Liberty’s offense.
