LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - Four Runnin' Rebels scored in double figures as the UNLV men's basketball team got back into the win column with an 86-72 victory over Wyoming Tuesday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.

EJ Harkless led all scorers with 28 points, while Keshon Gilbert and Jordan McCabe each contributed 12, and Keyshawn Hall added 10 for UNLV (13-7 overall, 2-6 Mountain West) as it snapped its four-game losing streak.

Wyoming (6-14, 1-7) was led by Noah Reynolds' 23 points. Xavier DuSell made a game-high six 3-pointers to tally 18 points and Hunter Maldonado had 11 points.

STAT OF THE GAME: UNLV shot 53.7% from the field (29 of 54) and 55.0% on 3-pointers (11 of 20). It marked the sixth game this season that the Runnin' Rebels made at least half their shots in a game. They are 6-0 in such instances.

DOMINANCE AT HOME VS. THE COWBOYS: With the win, UNLV has improved to 20-1 against Wyoming at the Thomas & Mack Center over its last 21 meetings.

WIRE TO WIRE: UNLV led the whole game and took a 41-31 lead into halftime. The Runnin' Rebels increased their advantage to 15 multiple times in the second half, but Wyoming kept fighting back and cut its deficit to five at 65-60 with nine minutes to go. That's when UNLV used an 11-0 run to propel it to its largest lead of the game at 16 points. Wyoming again cut into the lead to trail by six with four minutes to go, but UNLV scored the game's final eight points.

QUOTABLE: "Just a better overall game. It's easy to say you have to be more confident and to just figure it out, but it's just one of those things that when you lose it, it's tough to get it back. I thought tonight was a great step back toward playing the way we had been playing. We were much more in tune with each other than we have been lately. We had a couple of mistakes where we let guys get good looks, but outside of that combined with one of our better offensive games of the year, it was definitely a good step back in the right direction." - UNLV head coach Kevin Kruger.
