Caleb Martin just kept shooting.

After bricking most of his shots in regulation during Nevada's matchup against Texas, the Wolf Pack's go-to scorer kept the faith.

It paid off big time. Martin drilled three huge three-pointers in overtime to help lift Nevada to an 87-83 victory over Texas. Although the 7th-seeded Wolf Pack were the favorite, the 10th-seeded Longhorns built a lead up to 14 before Nevada staged a memorable comeback.

"We played so bad offensively," Nevada coach Eric Musselman told Turner Sports right after the win. "But we felt like we could win, like we were the better team."

Martin finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists on 6-for-16 shooting from the floor. What could have been one of his worst performances of the season turned out to be his most clutch. On top of the three triples, Martin also dished a key assist to his brother, Cody Martin, with 54 seconds left in OT.

"I missed a lot of threes in (regulation), but my teammates believed in me," Martin said after the game. "I just let it go."

The resilient Wolf Pack advance to the round of 32 to face No. 2 Cincinnati, one of the best defensive teams in the country, on Sunday.
