When it was over, when the last bizarre whistle had been blown, when the UNLV walk-on guard had played more minutes than the future first-round NBA Draft pick center, when Ike Nwamu somehow discovered the energy to jump high enough so that he might dunk the final of his career-high number in points, when 55 minutes had elapsed and eight players had been disqualified because of fouls, Jerome Seagears bent at the waist and exhaled, his calves burning and his hand throbbing and his heel screaming in pain.
