LAS VEGAS - Ticket sales for Saturday's 1 p.m. men's basketball game between UNLV and No. 12 BYU at the Thomas & Mack Center have spiked in recent days and are ahead of pace of last year's game between the two teams.

Last February's match-up drew 18,523 fans and featured the first sellout of a Runnin' Rebel home game in 16 years.

Balcony tickets are just $18 to the game. Only a limited number of single seats in the lower plaza level remain available.

A large midweek crowd is also expected for the Wednesday, Feb. 10 game vs. No. 15 New Mexico. That game tips off at 8 p.m., and balcony endzone tickets start at just $10. A limited number of lower plaza level seats are still available.
