CP 78 - Centennial 70

Kyle Zimmermann
The Rebels lead from the beginning to end in this one but could really never shake the Cougars. The Rebels took a 33-30 halftime lead behind the outside shooting of Tyler Munneke. The 2nd half begins and the Rebels run out to a 15 point lead only to see the Cougars cut it to 3 points behind a couple of mini runs by Peterson and Adams (they both scored 15 each).

The Rebels started feeding Kyle Zimmermann in the post and the crafty forward scored on 4 straight possessions on a variety of moves and attacks around the basket. The Cougars didn't seem to have any who could cover him as he scored inside and out whenever he wanted to finish with a team and season high 21 points.

Jasper Duberry
Zimmermann went to the bench for a rest with about 6 minutes left and did not need to return as Duberry (18 points) and Theisen (16 points) finished off the Cougars. The Rebels controlled the glass as they made some nice outlet passes to Duberry who got out and consistently beat the Cougars down the floor for lay ups or fouls. Duberry had a stretch where he was 7 for 8 from the line on four straight fouls by the Cougars. The win gives the Rebels their scond straight conference win.
