Martin then buried another 3-pointer on the Wolf Pack's following possession, extending the lead to four and putting Nevada in a position to ice the win from the free-throw line.

Cody Martin added 15 points and six assists, while senior guard Kendall Stephens led the team with 22 points and five 3-pointers.

Sophomore guard Josh Hall (15 points, six rebounds) and junior guard Jordan Caroline (14) also scored in double figures for Nevada, which had lost its previous game to San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference Tournament semifinals.

Junior guard Kerwin Roach II had 26 points and freshman guard Matt Coleman added 25 for Texas, which led 68-65 in the final minute of regulation before being forced to overtime.

After rallying from a 14-point deficit in the second half, Nevada had two chances to win in the final three seconds of regulation.

With his team down 68-67, Caroline made just the second of two free throws with 3.0 seconds remaining, tying the score.

Then, after the Longhorns lost the ball out of bounds with 1.6 seconds remaining, Caleb Martin airballed a contested 3-pointer just before the horn sounded, sending the game to overtime.

Facing a ranked team for the 13th time this season, Texas used 10-, nine- and seven-point runs to build a 35-26 halftime advantage.

The lead reached 14 early in the second half, and a layup by Osetkowski in the fourth minute of the period had the Longhorns up 45-32 before Nevada rallied.

The loss was the Longhorns' school-record eighth overtime game of the season, with Texas going 3-5.
