Scurry Sparks No. 9 UNLV Over Oklahoma State

Reserve forward Moses Scurry scored 23 points and keyed two first-half runs Saturday to lead No. 9 Nevada Las Vegas past Oklahoma State, 100-84.

Six UNLV players scored in double figures as the Rebels (19-4) won their fifth consecutive game.

Scurry came off the bench to score 16 points in the first half, including seven in a 10-0 spurt that overcame a 20-16 Oklahoma State.

Scurry also had seven points during a 10-3 spurt late in the first half after the Cowboys (13-9) pulled to within three points.

UNLV (19-4) used pressure defense to hold the Cowboys (13-9) to only one field goal in the first six minutes of the second half and UNLV led by as many as 23 points in the second half.

David Butler, replaced by Scurry after picking up three fouls early in the game, scored all 13 of his points in the second half. Anderson Hunt also had 13 for the Rebels.

Byron Houston scored 23 points for Oklahoma State.
