The win completed a season-series sweep for the Wolf Pack, who thumped the Aggies 83-57, holding Utah State to a season-low in points, in their January meeting in Reno, Nev.

Cody Martin's 30 points surpassed the 27 he'd recorded twice earlier this season after transferring into Nevada from North Carolina State with his brother.

The Wolf Pack were able to overcome a season-best 32 points from Utah State sophomore Koby McEwan, who had three 3-pointers among his 10 field goals.

The Canadian's previous high had been 31 against New Mexico last month.

Despite leading by 12 at halftime, Nevada couldn't put away the Aggies in the second half.

A layup by Alexis Dargenton got Utah State within 77-71 with still 6:29 to play, before Cody Martin hit a jumper, a layup and a 3-pointer to help extend the margin back to 12.

McEwan had eight points, including six free throws, in a late flurry that saw Utah State close within 89-85 with 23 seconds to go.
