LAS VEGAS -- The Fresno State trio of Deshon Taylor, Bryson Williams and Jaron Hopkins combined to score all but 15 of Fresno State's points as the Bulldogs hung a 77-64 loss on UNLV on Wednesday night to maintain their hold on third place in the Mountain West Conference.
The top five teams earn a first-round bye in the conference tournament. With the loss, UNLV is tied with Wyoming for that fifth and final bye, with San Diego State a game back with three games left in the regular season. Fresno State has now won 17 of its last 30 road games and earned its 20th win of the season.
