Carlos Lopez had nine points and a team-high six rebounds off the bench
for the Rebels, who opened the game with a 22-2 run and led 46-25 at
halftime.
Nevada scored the first seven points of the second
half, and trimmed the lead to 61-49 on a Deonte Burton layup with 8:50
left, but UNLV pulled away as Bellfield's 3-pointer with 3:22 left put
the Rebels ahead 78-60.
