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.

Dario Hunt had 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Malik Story and Burton scored 15 apiece for Nevada (1-6).

UNLV leads the series 53-19.
