Tre'Von Willis scored 32 points on 11-of-19 shooting but missed on two attempts in the final minute as the Rebels dropped their third game in a row.

The Utes (12-13, 5-6), led by Brown's 8-of-12 shooting, made 53 percent of their attempts to become just the second team this season to hit more than half their shots against the Rebels' pressure defense.

Utah never trailed, but couldn't put UNLV away until the final moments because of 16 turnovers that led to 22 Rebel points, and 9-of-17 shooting from the free-throw line.
