Carlos Lopez tied a career high with 14 points to lead No. 20 UNLV to a 80-63 victory over visiting New Mexico on Saturday.

UNLV, leading by four at intermission, went on a 12-5 run to start the second half to take a 51-40 lead. After that UNLV surge, New Mexico got no closer than eight points.

The Runnin’ Rebels held the Lobos to 38.6 percent shooting (22 of 57). It was the 10th time in its last 11 games UNLV has held an opponent to less than 40 percent.
