Las Vegas – After a rough first half, the Runnin’ Rebels made a comeback to beat Portland 68-to-60 on Tuesday night.

Senior guard Justin Hawkins scored 15 points, including a pair of 3-pointers during the second half rally. Anthony Bennett had 18 points and Anthony Marshall added 16.

Junior forward Mike Moser was on the bench due to a strained left hip. He hopes to be back on the court Sunday, when UNLV takes on Cal.
