Anthony Marshall donated 11 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.
"I'm very proud of our team," UNLV head coach Dave Rice said. "One of the things we talked about before the game was that we felt like we lost a little bit ouf our swagger. The way we felt we could get it back was to play the way we needed to play on the defensive end of the floor."
