UNLV's men's basketball team used a balanced offensive attack to defeat Stanford 76-68 Friday night at the Thomas & Mack Center, improving to 3-0 for the first time since the 2021-22 season. The victory also marked the second consecutive year the Rebels have beaten the Cardinal, following a 75-74 road win at Maples Pavilion in 2025.
Florida State transfer guard Cam Miles led UNLV with a team-high 17 points, connecting on four 3-pointers while shooting 80 percent from beyond the arc. Three Rebels players finished in double figures as the team collectively shot 7-of-12 from 3-point range.
UNLV built an 18-point lead in the first half before Stanford rallied to pull even with 14 minutes remaining. The Rebels held off the comeback bid to secure the eight-point victory, handing the Cardinal their first loss of the season.
Defensively, UNLV forced 11 turnovers and outrebounded Stanford 30-29, including 26 defensive rebounds.
