Kirby really outplayed the Jays in the 2nd quarter, cutting the Nevada lead to 30-25 at the break. Nevada would go on to outscore the Trojans by 5 in the 2nd half, as they closed out the game very well, going 8/10 from the FT line in the 4th quarter to clinch the game, as Kav Coleman, Caleb Moss, and Kobe Hughey knocked down some big ones in the final minutes of the game. "Big conference win, defense got it going down the stretch, they wanted it more in the 2nd quarter, but we got it together in the second half," Kavion Coleman said after the Blue Jays win Thursday night.
