LAS VEGAS — Tre’Von Willis made a steal and go-ahead free throws with 27 seconds left and UNLV survived a frantic final few seconds Saturday to defeat New Mexico 63-62.
The Rebels trailed 61-60 when Willis intercepted Tony Snell’s pass and was intentionally fouled by Dairese Gary. Willis made the two free throws, and Oscar Bellfield hit 1-of-2 free throws with 18 seconds left to make it 63-61.
On the ensuing possession, New Mexico turned it over with 2.9 seconds remaining when Kendall Williams’ pass went off Phillip McDonald’s hands. But Williams stole Derrick Jasper’s inbounds pass and was fouled in the act of shooting with 1.1 seconds left. After making the first free throw, Williams missed the second and UNLV survived.
