Lower-bowl plans

UNLV’S basketball program is offering lower-bowl season-ticket miniplans, something usually available for only the upper seating at the Thomas & Mack Center. The “Pick-3 Plan” starts at $129 in the lower bowl that includes one premium game and two against other teams.

The “Conference Plan” starts at $246 downstairs and includes six games. Tickets are available by calling Dan Johnson, manager of group and season-ticket sales, (702) 895-1885. the years a player’s height seldom has much to do with rebounding success.

Juiston pointed to his wing span that measures 7 feet 1½ inches, his athleticism and “huge hands” that help him “grip the ball at any point” as important elements in his rebounding prowess.

Rebounding is about effort, too, and Juiston is in no short supply of that.

“Giving effort counts more than boxing out sometimes,” he said. “There’s no skill in rebounding. You can have some maneuvers and some type of moves and stuff, but it all comes down to effort.”

To think, however, he is simply someone who runs hard toward the basket would be a mistake. Juiston was a top recruit because of his overall game.

“I just want to bring energy and motivation even off the court,” Juiston said. “I do that every day in practice. I lift people and I get rebounds, so they see that.”
