Chace Stanback stole the ball from a driving Todd Fletcher to preserve No. 15 UNLV's 65-63 overtime victory over host Air Force on Saturday.

Mike Moser had 27 points and 12 rebounds - his 12th double double of the season - for the Runnin' Rebels (20-3, 4-1 Mountain West), who won their second straight overtime game.

In a game that featured 15 lead changes, Oscar Bellfield put UNLV up for good 64-61 with a 3-pointer with 2:28 left in overtime. Bellfield finished with 15 points. Air Force held Runnin' Rebels scoring leader Stanback to two points.

Michael Lyons scored a season-high 25 points for Air Force (11-8, 1-4), which has never beaten a ranked team.

With the game tied at 57, Air Force had a chance to win it in regulation, but Lyons missed a last-second shot.

UNLV made nine of its first 11 field goals, jumping out to a 24-13 lead with 9:47 left in the first half.

Air Force responded with a 17-4 run to take a 30-28 lead with 4:36 left in the first half. The Falcons were aided by nine first-half turnovers by the Runnin’ Rebels.

After its hot start, UNLV made 5 of 16 to finish the half trailing 34-33.
