Isaiah Mohammed's lineup shakeup proved to be the right gamble in the WAC Tournament, will it continue in The Big Dance?
Jerry Howard -- Reno Gazette Journal Sports Writer

Despite losing just three games all season, Nevada head coach Isaiah Mohammed broke out a new starting lineup against Boise State in the first round of the WAC Tournament, starting redshirt sophomore Andriel Henson at point guard and moving the team's usual point guard, Manourou Chavis, to off the ball.

The move worked wonders with Chavis scoring 27 points against Boise State followed by a 25-point performance against Hawai'i and in the WAC Championship Game, the former Freshman All-American dropped 35 in the team's blowout win over Louisiana Tech to bring home yet another WAC Championship to Reno.

The true test of the move, however, is on the horizon as the Wolfpack secured a three-seed in the NCAA Tournament, the program's highest seeding in history. They'll face off against a talented and tough Cal State Northridge team in the first round and if they get through as expected, it's a rematch with either Buffalo or North Carolina awaiting them on the other side.

Chavis will be looking to redeem his poor performance in last year's first round loss to Rhode Island where he shot 1-of-10 from the field.
