UNLV guard Sebastian Mack delivered a career-best performance on Tuesday night, scoring 31 points to lead the Runnin' Rebels to a season-opening victory over Northern Arizona at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The 24-year-old senior's previous career high came in the 2025-26 campaign, but he surpassed that mark in the first game of the new season. Mack's scoring outburst powered UNLV to a win in front of the home crowd at their namesake arena.
The contest marked the first game of the 2026-27 college basketball season for both programs. NAU visited Las Vegas for the non-conference matchup on November 3, 2026.
