FRESNO, Calif. (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV men's basketball team suffered its fourth straight loss, 98-96, to Fresno State on Tuesday night at the Save Mart Center.

The Runnin' Rebels (10-12, 5-6) were led by Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn's 28 points, while Howie Fleming Jr. added 23. Additionally, Issac Williamson and Kimani Hamilton scored 14 apiece.

Jake Heidbreder had a game-high 29 points to lead the Bulldogs (11-11, 5-6), with four other Fresno State players scoring in double figures.

TURNING POINT: UNLV led by as many as 13 points in the second half (69-56 with 10:13 to go). With multiple UNLV players fouled out, including Gibbs-Lawhorn, the Runnin' Rebels still held a nine-point lead (89-80) with 1:33 to go and five-point advantage (94-89) with 12.9 seconds remaining. A flagrant foul was called on UNLV's Al Green with 6.8 seconds to go and after free throws by both teams, including two from Bastien Rieber, UNLV led by three at 96-93. Including the Rieber free throws, Fresno State ended the game on a 7-0 run. David Douglas Jr. made a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left to tie the game at 96. On the ensuing inbound pass, Fleming Jr. overthrew Naas Cunningham on the other end of the floor and the ball went out of bounds to give possession back to the Bulldogs under their basket. Heidbreder ended the contest on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer as time expired.

STATS OF THE GAME: UNLV had five players foul out and were limited to just five available players in the final minute of the contest. 62 total fouls were called in the game (34 on UNLV), and a combined 80 free throws were attempted.

QUOTABLE: "Tough pill to swallow and a tough loss. It's really disappointing as we had a chance to win and didn't get it done. We just kept fouling and they kept on getting to the free throw line. I knew going into those last six seconds, we had Naas (Cunningham) with four fouls and we didn't have anyone else to put in case he fouled out. We wanted to foul. That's not on the players, that's on me." - UNLV head coach Josh Pastner
