Slowly, inch by inch. Win by win, Nevada is climbing in rarefied air.

The No. 6 Wolf Pack are taking it slow and easy. The only place they're in a hurry is on the court, and that's where they will be come Friday night when they play host to Little Rock at Lawlor Events Center in first game of Continental Tire Las Vegas Holiday Invitational.

The 2-0 Trojans are coached by former NBA veteran Darrell Walker. Little Rock, like Nevada, prefers to push the ball in an up-tempo pace. The Trojans are averaging 92 points in their two wins.
