    UNLV Falls to No. 25 BYU 89-77 as Turnovers and Injuries Hurt the Rebels

    UNLV battled No. 25 BYU at the Thomas & Mack Center but couldn't hold off the Cougars in an 89-77 exhibition loss. The Scarlet Standard's Darrell Lutey breaks down the Runnin' Rebels' performance, including an impressive start, a second-half offensive slowdown and the turnover problems that continue to concern head coach Josh Pastner. Playing without several key contributors, UNLV built a double-digit lead before BYU fought back. The Rebels remained competitive despite their limited rotation, but turnovers, second-chance opportunities and defensive breakdowns ultimately proved costly. Sebastian Mack led UNLV with 26 points on 10-of-20 shooting, adding three assists and committing just one turnover. Cam Miles contributed 14 points and four assists, while Jeremy Fumena and Dontrez Williams each collected nine rebounds. Williams made his UNLV debut, finishing with nine points and nine rebounds in 33 minutes. UNLV won the rebounding battle 41-36 but finished with 18 turnovers against only 12 assists. Pastner praised his team's improvement from the Utah exhibition while acknowledging that offensive execution and ball security must improve.
