The Nevada Wolf Pack men's basketball team faced the Wyoming Cowboys in a quarterfinal of the 2020 Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Tournament on Thursday, March 5.

No. 11 seed Wyoming defeated No. 3 seed Nevada 74-71.

In a postgame interview, Wyoming coach Allen Edwards got choked up talking about his team's upset win.

"We just kept fighting, man," Edwards said. "They believe in one another. I'm proud. All I talked to them about was leaving it on the floor. There was too many times we have been put in this situation, and we've come out on the wrong end. Today, yesterday, we've been on the right end."

On Wednesday, Wyoming upset No. 6 seed Colorado State in the opening round of the Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.

No. 3 seed Nevada went to 19-12 overall. No. 11 seed Wyoming improved to 9-23 overall.

This is Edwards' fourth season as the Wyoming head coach.
