Game notes: After going scoreless against Louisiana Tech, Graham is still chasing the 1,00-point mark. Six other players have accomplished that feat ... Nevada has 11 players averaging double-figure in minutes played per game, a must-have in Nevada's up-tempo style of play ... Freshman Marissa Hammond is coming off a career-high 11-point effort in the 11-point loss to the Lady Techsters. All of her points came in the first half ... After playing Hawai'i, Nevada will return home to face Fresno State Thursday night in a critical WAC match-up ... Hawai'i has been plagued by turnovers all season. The Rainbow Wahine have turned it over 20-plus times in five of their last six games ... Center Briitany Grice plays in her 100th game today, and she needs eight rebounds to crack the top 10 all-time. She has 179 career blocks, fifth-best in WAC history.
