UNLV stops skid with 66-59 win over Utah State
It was Senior Night at the Thomas & Mack Center, and the trio played with energy all game and put UNLV in position to break its long losing streak.
But it was junior Jovan Mooring, who struggled throughout with his shot, who delivered Wednesday’s big blow, a 3-pointer with 33 seconds left to put the Rebels ahead by five points.
They went on to beat Utah State 66-59 at the Thomas & Mack Center and end a school-tying record nine-game skid.
UNLV (11-19, 4-13 Mountain West) moved back into a tie with Air Force (11-19, 4-13) for last place in the conference.
The Rebels won by holding Utah State (13-16, 7-11) without field goal over the final 8:11.
