Backcourt: C+
Senior point guard Jerome Seagears waited a year to run the Rebels' offense. Unfortunately for the Rutgers transfer, his first game was against a stifling Cal Poly defense. Seagears struggled to break through Cal Poly's zone in the first half. Credit goes to Seagears for attacking the rim, despite coming up empty many times, and not letting the Rebels settle for jumpers. Seagears scored 11 points with five assists in UNLV's 74-72 victory over the Mustangs on Friday at the Thomas & Mack Center. UNLV didn't get much from its two other starting guards Ike Nwamu and Jordan Cornish, who combined for 11 points.
