Nevada Sports Net’s Morning Download featured three major headlines for Thursday. The first story covers the Nevada men’s basketball team’s quest for a spot in the MW Tournament semifinals under coach Steve Alford. After a win over Fresno State, the Wolf Pack faces a tough challenge against Colorado State. The team must win the tournament to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
The second headline highlights diver Bailey Heydra’s near miss at qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Heydra finished ninth at the Zone E Diving Championships, just shy of the top-eight qualification spot. Unfortunately, Heydra’s close call means the Wolf Pack will not have a representative at the NCAA swimming and diving championships this year.
Lastly, former Nevada football player Daiyan Henley received a substantial bonus of $892,651 through the NFL’s performance-based pay for the 2024 season. Henley, now with the Los Angeles Chargers, had an impressive 147 tackles, ranking eighth in the NFL. This bonus nearly doubled his income from his rookie deal.
