UNLV streaked to a 15-2 lead, with Willis capping a 15-0 spurt on two free throws with 14:40 left in the first half.
The lead was 56-34 at the break in a game BYU led only once -- 2-0 on Jimmer Fredette's game-opening layup.
BYU's 79-61 lead on a Willis layup with 6:30 left proved insurmountable for the Cougars.
Matt Shaw scored 13 with five rebounds, while Oscar Bellfield added 12 points for the Rebels (19-4, 7-2), who have won five straight.
Fredette led BYU with 21 points, six assists and seven rebounds.
Jonathan Tavernari scored 16 with seven rebounds and Jackson Emery scored 10 with three rebounds for the Cougars (22-3, 7-2), who have split four contests since a season-opening 15-game winning streak.
