Coleman's 34-point game nears Wolf Pack records

Marqueze Coleman played a historically awesome game last night in Nevada's 76-75 loss at Hawaii, a game that wouldn't have been anywhere near as close without him.

Coleman became the 11th Wolf Pack player since 2000 to score at least 30 points in a game. The senior scored 34 points in just 24 minutes, making 9-of-14 shots from the field 15-of-18 from the free throw line (he had foul trouble in the first half).

Coleman's 34 points are the fifth most by a Nevada player since 2000 (the team's all-time single-game record is 49 by Alex Boyd in 1967). His 15 made free throws were three short of the all-time record and his 20 free throw attempts were two short of the record. Nevada's media guide doesn't list most points in a half, but Coleman's 32 in the second half could be a record mark.

Here's a look at the Wolf Pack players who have reached 30-plus points since 2000. Unsurprisingly, Nick Fazekas tops the list with eight 30-plus point games. I was surprised Kirk Snyder posted only one such outing.
