Nevada head coach Jane Albright enters her fifth year leading the program, with a record of 64-64 and 461-376 (28 years) overall. Albright is 3-1 in season openers with the Wolf Pack, winning the last three consecutive openers. The team opened the 2011-12 season with a 91-74 win against St. Martin’s.
