LAS VEGAS — Mike Moser had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and senior Brice Massamba added a career-high 15 points to lead No. 17 UNLV past Wyoming 74-63 on Saturday night in their regular-season finale.
Kendall Wallace had a season-high 14 points and Anthony Marshall 12 for the Runnin’ Rebels (25-7, 9-5 Mountain West), who wrapped up a perfect season at home. They face Wyoming again in the conference tournament on their home floor.
UNLV pulled away in the final 4 minutes. Massamba’s layup with 3:48 left put the Rebels up double digits for good in front of a white-out, sellout crowd of 18,577 at the Thomas & Mack Center.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Jamaal Franklin scored a career-high 35 points, including the go-ahead three-point play in overtime as San Diego State claimed a share of its second consecutive Mountain West championship.
The Aztecs (24-6, 10-4) blew an 18-point lead in the second half.
Franklin made a driving layup while being fouled with 3:34 left in overtime, then hit the free throw for an 88-85 lead. After a TCU miss, Xavier Thames added another layup for San Diego State.
TCU (17-13, 7-7) had won eight straight home games, the last two over top-25 teams. SDSU will share the Mountain West regular-season title with New Mexico (24-6, 10-4).
But the Aztecs, the two-time defending tournament champion, will be the No. 1 seed in this week’s conference tournament in Las Vegas.
