LAS VEGAS (AP) - Kaspars Kambala had 20 points and 11 rebounds as UNLV beat a ranked team for the first time this season, downing No. 19 Utah 72-66 Saturday night.
The Rebels had lost to Top 25 opponents North Carolina, Oklahoma State, and Cincinnati before defeating the Utes. Mark Dickel scored 18 points for the Rebels (14-5, 5-2 Mountain West). Freshman Dalron Johnson had 17 points.
Alex Jensen led Utah (17-4, 6-1) with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Hanno Mottola added 16 points and Tony Harvey scored 12. Utah, which is 0-4 on the road, trailed most of the game, but tied it at 61 with 5:57 remaining.
The Rebels didn't get a basket the rest of the game, and made only 11-of-20 free throws in that span. Still, it was enough as the Utes could only muster Jensen's 3-pointer and a late field goal from Jeff Johnsen.
Utah turned the ball over three times and missed four shots in the final five minutes.
"The effort was there, the focus was there," UNLV head coach Bill Bayno said. "Together as a team it was the best it's ever been."
The Rebels led 39-31 at halftime. Johnson had 13 points, including nine in a 13-point run midway through the first half.
