UNLV’s Kendall Wallace came off the bench to make 7 of 10 3-pointers…the last opposing player to make 7 treys against UNM was UNLV’s Kevin Kruger, who hit 7 of 9 in an 85-83 win in The Pit on Feb. 28, 2007
UNLV jumped out to a 19-8 lead at the 13:21 mark of the first half by making 8 of its first 11 FGs…the Lobos started the game 3 of 13 from the floor
