Rebels hold off Wyoming, 79-74, on Senior Night

Jerome Seagears opened Saturday's basketball game with three 3-pointers and when UNLV found itself tied late, he gave the Rebels the lead for good with another 3.

Seagears, batting an injured right heel, scored 18 points to help lead the Rebels to a 79-74 victory over Wyoming at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Derrick Jones Jr. led the Rebels (17-13, 8-9 Mountain West) with 23 points. Ike Nwamu matched Seagears' scoring output, and in his first game back from a sprained left knee, Stephen Zimmerman Jr. totaled 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Josh Adams led Wyoming (13-17, 6-11) with 31 points before fouling out with 39 seconds left.
