LAS VEGAS - Reserved seating tickets for Saturday's Kansas State vs. UNLV men's basketball game at the Orleans Arena are sold out, UNLV Athletics announced Thursday. A limited number of space available tickets are being made available for the 4 p.m. game to the public online at OrleansArena.com or by calling (702) 284-7777.

Fans holding space available tickets for the game will be permitted to enter the venue 10 minutes after tip-off. Fans then have 30 minutes to find an empty seat in the venue. (If the reserved ticket holder for that seat arrives, the fan holding the space available ticket for the game will have to move to another empty seat.) If fans holding space available tickets are unable to locate a seat within 30 minutes, they may go to the Orleans Arena ticket office for a refund.

UNLV, which improved to 7-0 following road wins at Arizona and Santa Clara last week, moved up the rankings in both the Associated Press and USA TODAY/ESPN Coaches' polls, which were released Monday. UNLV is ranked 18th in the AP poll and is 17th in the coaches'. The 7-0 start is UNLV's best since the 1990-91 team won its first 34 games of the season before losing in the Final Four.

Kansas State is 8-1 on the season and is receiving votes in both polls.
