Nevada has had a few nail biter games in recent times.
I think they are the only NCAA team that is capable of huge come back while being down late in the second half.
Too bad their streak stopped here. Honestly, I think most people were comfortable with either team winning because of the underdog hype.
I agree 100% on all three of your points - it was fun to watch Nevada in this tournament - and like you said I was fine with the winner of that game either way because of the underdog factor
