Around the WAC

Idaho (1-6) is the only Western Athletic Conference team with fewer than three wins. … High-scoring Fresno State guard Ja’Vance Coleman was limited to six points on 3-of-16 shooting by San Diego defensive specialist Corey Belser, younger brother of former Idaho Vandals receiver Chris Belser. … Nevada (7-1) is off to its best start since the 1978-79 team opened 10-1. The 20th-ranked Wolf Pack gave up 52 points to UCLA guards in a 67-56 loss at the Wooden Classic on Saturday. … Hawaii and Utah State, two teams expected to challenge Nevada for WAC supremacy, meet Saturday in Honolulu. The game was moved up to avoid conflicting with Bracket Buster contests in February. … Hawaii guard Matt Gibson, one of the conference’s top players, was suspended indefinitely following a verbal altercation with coaches on Nov. 25. Gibson practiced Tuesday, but his status for Saturday was unclear. … Louisiana Tech knocked off Bob Knight-coached Texas Tech 68-53 last week, then turned around three days later and lost to previously winless Southern.
