Nevada @ Texas Christian preview

Friday's Basketball Hall of Fame Classic will finish its triple-header at the Staples Center with a top-25 matchup. Undefeated and 20th-ranked TCU will put its 14-game win streak on the line against No. 24 Nevada.

The Wolf Pack's undefeated start ended Tuesday with a loss at Texas Tech and Nevada looks forward to another chance at a quality win. "We don't get that many opportunities to play a team like (TCU), to make a statement like this," Nevada forward Cody Martin said. "We just have to approach it like we do any other game, a winning mentality." Twin brother Caleb Martin had a career-high 28 points against Texas Tech while TCU's Kenrich Williams is coming off a career-high 27 points in Tuesday's 94-83 win against SMU. The Horned Frogs, who own the nation's longest active win streak, are 24-2 against non-conference opponents under second-year coach Jamie Dixon.
