Nevada unveiled a new set of pink threads as a way to help raise cancer awareness, the school announced on Monday.

"We are extremely excited and honored to release our new pink 'Cancer Awareness' jerseys, Wolf Pack coach Eric Musselman said. "It was apparent very early in our time here that many members of our Nevada Wolf Pack basketball program and in our Pack community have been affected or are currently being affected by cancer. We could not be more proud to help support the cause and unite to fight this horrible and devastating disease."

Said senior DJ Fenner: "Being able to come out here on the court and wear this pink, and represent the fight against cancer, it means a lot to me. It makes me play harder. Rest in peace to my friends Josh Dickerson and my grandfather. It means a lot."

Nevada will wear the pink uniforms in its next two games at Boise State on Jan. 25, and at home against New Mexico on Jan. 28.
