DONS AT A GLANCE:
  • In its first game of the Acrisure Holiday Classic, San Francisco led Colorado (CU) at the halftime break (37-35), but the Buffaloes used a second half surge to take down the Dons, 79-69, on Thursday, Nov. 27. CU outscored USF by twelve points in the second half, 44-32.
  • Despite the loss to Colorado, four Dons finished in double figures to open play in Palm Desert: Junjie Wang (13 points, season-high), Ryan Beasley (13 points), Tyrone Riley IV (12 points), and Guillermo Diaz Graham (10 points, tied season-high). David Fuchs also tied his career-high with four assists on the afternoon.
  • Beasley has been a pivotal leader for the green and gold so far this season, with the guard currently leading the team in points per game (15.5), steals per game (1.5), free throw percentage (85.0 percent), and minutes per game (29.5). After starting just four games in his previous two years on the Hilltop, the San Ramon native has started in all six of his appearances so far this season.
  • As of Thursday evening, San Francisco remains atop the conference in three-point field goals made and three-point field goals per game, having cashed in on 73 triples in seven games so far, good for an average of 10.4 per game.
  • Defensively, USF has held opponents to under 80 points in all seven games this season, including four contests where opponents scored 65 points or less.
SCOUTING THE WOLF PACK:
  • Similar to San Francisco, Nevada dropped its opening round game of the Acrisure Holiday Classic, falling to Washington, 83-66, on Thursday, Nov. 27. Individually, Tayshawn Comer (16 points) and Elijah Price (12 points) each finished in double figures for the Wolf Pack.
  • Nevada comes into the contest having already faced two West Coast Conference (WCC) opponents, as the Wolf Pack narrowly defeated Pacific, 78-77, on Saturday, Nov. 8, before falling on the road at Santa Clara, 98-83, on Saturday, Nov. 15.
  • Able to draw contact no matter the opponent, Nevada ranks in the top ten nationally in both free throws made per game (23.3/T-8th) and free throw attempts per game (31.2/10th).
  • The Wolf Pack enters Friday's game with three student-athletes averaging double figures: Comer (15.9), Corey Camper Jr. (15.1), and Price (12.3). Price has also impressed in other areas, as he leads the team in rebounds per game (9.0), blocks per game (1.4), and minutes per game (30.9). Additionally, Comer leads the team in assists per game (3.7) and steals per game (1.6)
SERIES HISTORY:
  • Friday's meeting between San Francisco and Nevada will mark the 82nd meeting all-time between the two programs, with USF holding a 49-32 advantage in the series.
