Where every Mountain West, Pac-12 basketball team sits in initial KenPom rankings

The initial KenPom rankings were released Sunday with the popular college basketball analytics website taking a stab at sorting all 365 Division I schools from best to worst before a game has been played. KenPom is bullish on Nevada, which slots in at 70th in this year's initial rankings, with an offensive rank of 96th and defensive rank of 54th. The Wolf Pack finished last season 72nd in the KenPom rankings, so it is projected to pick up where it left off last year.

Bishop Manogue volleyball standouts hoping to get the Miners back on top

It’s rare to have one future NCAA Division I athlete on a team in Northern Nevada, but Bishop Manogue has two such standouts on the Miners' volleyball team. Lily Beckwith, a senior, will play volleyball for Long Beach State next year. Audrey Sutherland, a junior, has committed to play for Clemson in two years. The 6-foot-5 Sutherland knew she wanted to play in the Big-10 Conference or the ACC and she was vigilant about letting those schools know her interest and sending them her game film. She will receive a full scholarship. Beckwith (5-11) was also proactive in emailing college coaches. She contacted numerous coaches and attended as many camps as she could. On a visit to Long Beach State, she knew immediately that was where she wanted to continue playing volleyball. She will receive a half scholarship. Both have been on the Manogue varsity since their freshman seasons. They know it is unusual for Northern Nevada to have two Division I athletes, saying that most of the top volleyball talent is in the Las Vegas area, as well as in bigger states like California and Texas. The pair have Bishop Manogue rolling in the Class 5A-North volleyball season, 19-10
