LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV men's basketball team won for the seventh time in its last eight games at the Thomas & Mack Center as it recorded the series sweep against Air Force with a 69-64 victory Monday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.

David Jenkins Jr. made 6 of 8 3-pointers and scored a game-high 26 points to lead the Runnin' Rebels (8-9, 5-5). Bryce Hamilton was the only other UNLV player to score in double figures as he contributed 14 points on 7 of 9 from the floor. His playing time was limited late in the game as he picked up his fourth foul with 13:25 to go.

Air Force (4-14, 2-12) was led by AJ Walker's 20 points and Nikc Jackson's 18.

STAT OF THE GAME: UNLV shot 60.9% from the field in the second half (14 of 23), including 60% on 3-pointers (6 of 10). The Runnin' Rebels finished the game at 55.6% from the field (25 of 45) and 56.3% on 3-pointers (9 of 16).

TURNING POINT: Trailing by a point with 8:55 to go (47-46), UNLV used an 8-0 run for a little separation and led 54-47 with 6:11 to play. Air Force cut it to four points twice with under two minutes to go, but UNLV held on.

QUOTABLE: "We knew coming into this series with a younger group, guarding some of their actions was going to be challenging for our guys to stay the course for longer defensive possessions. I felt like there were times tonight we were good defensively and there were others when there were things we could have done better. Overall, it was good to see David step up for us. He had that aggressiveness offensively - that's the guy we need out there every night. When he's playing with that level of tenacity and competitive spirit, he can be great for us. Fortunate to come out with a win and we will move on to the next one." - UNLV head coach T.J. Otzelberger
