UNLV Men's Basketball Beats Stanford 76-68 for a 3-0 Start Behind Cam Miles' 17 Points
The UNLV men's basketball team in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, improved to 3-0 for the first time since the 2022-23 season with a 76-68 victory over previously undefeated Stanford on Friday night, November 13, at the Thomas & Mack Center.
The Runnin' Rebels, under second-year head coach Josh Pastner, used a 13-0 first-half run to build an 18-point lead at 36-18. Stanford closed the half on a 15-3 run to cut the margin to 39-33, then pulled within one point at 45-44 in the second half before UNLV pushed back ahead 60-51. The Cardinal cut the deficit to 69-66 with 2:12 remaining, but Issac Williamson answered with a 3-pointer, and UNLV held Stanford scoreless from the field the rest of the way.
Three UNLV players scored in double figures, led by sophomore guard Cam Miles' 17 points, including four 3-pointers. Tyrin Jones added 16 points and six rebounds, while Sebastian Mack contributed 15 points, five rebounds and a game-high five assists. Freshman Jackson Kiss added eight points and a career-high four blocked shots. Stanford was led by Austin Maurer's game-high 20 points on 10-of-11 shooting with nine rebounds, and Julius Price added 16 points.
UNLV shot a season-high 57.8% from the field and held Stanford to 14.3% shooting from 3-point range (3 of 21), recording six blocked shots and forcing 11 turnovers. "I love the press. It's our identity," Pastner said after the game.
UNLV will next open play at the Players Era 8 against No. 15/14 Kansas on Tuesday, November 17, at 6:30 p.m. at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas.
