Doesn't debut Sunday Pope did not take the court in Sunday's 72-66 victory over Hawaii.

Impact According to Chris Murray of Nevada Sports Net, the plan is still for Pope to make his season debut during the team's current four-game trip to Hawaii. The Tulane transfer was even dressed and warmed up with the team Sunday, but never made his way into the game. Considering Pope averaged 6.5 points and 4.4 rebounds across 19.3 minutes a season ago, he'll presumably have a role with the Wolf Pack once coach Steve Alford is confident enough to deploy him.
