Runnin’ Rebels Prepare for Lobos Without Ben Carter
by Morgan Evens – February 1, 2016
The UNLV Runnin’ Rebels prepare to take on the New Mexico Lobos in Albuquerque Tuesday a 5:00 p.m. without the assistance of junior forward Ben Carter.
Saturday night against the Aztecs Carter left midgame with a knee injury; Monday it was announced that Carter had torn his left anterior cruciate ligament, and would be out for the rest of the season.
Missing Carter’s leadership the Rebels fell down to the Aztecs, 67-52, now 13-9 for the season, and No. 7 in the Mountain West Conference.
“We are very disappointed for Ben,” interim coach Todd Simon said. “He was obviously an impact player for us, but more than that he is a pillar of our program with his toughness, spirit and leadership. It is a huge loss for our team.”
The Rebels ended the night shooting, 22-60, 37% from the field and grabbing only 27 rebounds compared to the Aztec 44.
With Carter out and byes at stake for the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament it will be every players job to step-up.
“It’s a good thing for everybody to be able to step-up in the leader role, and know that we need him (Carter) and he’s always there to support,” freshman forward Stephen Zimmerman Jr. said.
Zimmerman Jr. ended the night with a double-double, scoring 14 points and earning 10 rebounds.
With the second half of Mountain West Conference games beginning the Rebels will have to persevere and make strong improvements if they want a chance to move on post conference.

By Morgan Evans – January 17, 2016
After losing Head Coach Dave Rice the question of what would become of the Rebels season was on everyone’s mind, but with the guidance of Interim Head Coach Todd Simon UNLV grabbed their second conference win.
Starting senior guard Jerome Seagears ended the night with 17 points and two rebounds.
“Everybody knew how Coach felt,” Seagears said. “Now it’s like we hit rock bottom, so it’s only up from there.”
Since Tuesdays win against New Mexico the team was fired-up and ready to earn themselves a blowout against Air Force.
26 seconds into the game the Rebels were on the scoreboard thanks to a jump-start by sophomore forward Dwayne Morgan who finished the night with eight points, eight rebounds and an assist.
The Runnin’ Rebels showed their power as they successfully executed a 3-2 zone defense and an aggressive full-court press, helping them earn an impressive 52 rebounds which was led by freshman forward Stephen Zimmerman Jr..
Zimmerman Jr. ended the night with another double-double of 12 rebounds along with 14 points, two blocks, an assist and a turnover.
While the UNLV defense kept Air Force from gaining momentum, Simons shooting practices paid off as the offense shined like it hadn’t before.
“When you focus on all these small things that aren’t necessarily small and you start putting them together, you start getting results,” Simon said. “… Those things don’t happen just one-on-one or that kind of basketball. It happens because you take care of the ball and you get enough possessions. It happens because you get up and pressure defensively on every single possession. It’s just got to be who our DNA is.”
The Rebels shot 95% from the free-throw line, making 19-20 shots, and freshman forward Derrick Jones Jr. and Seagears couldn’t be stopped.
Jones Jr. was the leading scorer ending the night with 22 points and 10 rebounds earning his second career double-double, while Seagears stunned all as he ended the night shooting 5-5 from the three-point field.
The Runnin’ Rebels are determine to finish the season strong with the help of Simon.
“We still think we can win the league,” sophomore guard Jordan Cornish said, “ point-blank period.”

Despite winning the game, the first half was one UNLV wishes to forget.
Tied 42-42, the Rebels had 10 turnovers and allowed the Panthers to shoot 50 percent from the field during the first 20 minutes of the game.
“We were getting hurt with our trapping,” Rice said. “We just didn’t have the energy level in the first half, so we pulled up the trap and went straight man-to-man.”
After what Rice could only describe as a more “spirited” pep talk than usual the Rebels came out of halftime fired up and ready for a win.

Guitarist Carlos Barbosa-Lima
Carlos Barbosa-Lima performed a magical Classical Guitar concert at UNLV, Doc Rando Recital Hall, October 20, 2010.
Carlos was born in 1944 in San Paulo, Brazil. He started studying the guitar at age 7 and made his concert debut 5 years later. Carlos was also a student of the late great Classical Guitar Master, Andre Segovia.
The late Frank Hasslebacher, the guitar luthier for Augustine Guitars was the first to introduce me to the music of Carlos Barbosa-Lima’s. I met Frank when I was about 12 years old. He repaired one of my guitars and gave me one of Carlos’s recordings. I never had the opportunity until this evening to see and meet Carlos. It was an honor.
Here is a brief interview I had with the maestro after his brilliant performance.
See You At The Next Concert,
Robby LeBlanc
