KENAN BLACKSHEAR NEWS

Nears double-double in win Blackshear closed Saturday's 75-65 victory over UNLV with 16 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes.

Impact In just his second game back from an ankle issue, Blackshear looked like his usual self, finishing as the Wolf Pack's second-leading scorer with 16 points. The senior from Orlando has also been impressing as a passer in his most recent outings, recording eight-plus assists in three of his last four games played. Blackshear's health doesn't seem to be an issue anymore, which is huge for a Nevada team looking to stay hot in the month of March.

DNP against Fresno State Blackshear (ankle) didn't play Friday against Fresno State.

Impact Blackshear missed a second consecutive game for Nevada, and it's unclear if he'll suit up for the rest of the regular season since he was spotted in street clothes on the bench for this one. His next chance to play will come against Boise State on Tuesday. Hunter McIntosh will likely continue to start with Blackshear out.

Status uncertain Tuesday Blackshear rolled his ankle in Nevada's most recent 84-63 win over SJSU, and is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Colorado State, Chris Murray of NevadaSportsNet.com repor...

Impact Blackshear has started every game this year for Nevada, but the rolling of his ankle may hinder him from doing so Tuesday. The senior guard averages 15.2 points and 4.9 assists on the year, and his status should be more clear as the game approaches.

Near double-double Saturday Blackshear recorded 12 points (3-6 FG, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 69-66 victory over UNLV.

Impact Blackshear was effective on the glass and in scoring during Saturday's win, producing 12 points on 50 percent shooting while also adding nine rebounds. Despite his successes in other areas, the senior from Orlando really struggled to take care of the ball and led the game with seven turnovers. Expect Blackshear to try to take better care of the ball as Nevada looks to take down Wyoming on Tuesday.
