LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Khem Birch scored 12 points and grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds to lead a balanced attack for UNLV which rolled to a 65-42 win over Wyoming on Saturday night.

Derek Cooke Jr. scored a career-high 15 points and had nine rebounds to lead Wyoming (18-9, 4-9).

Reinhardt drilled a pair of 3-pointers and Moser had five points in the first eight-plus minutes as UNLV raced to a 19-7 lead.

The lead didn't shrink below 17 after that.

The largest lead was 64-37 after a lay-up by Dejean-Jones with just over 2 minutes remaining.
