RANKING THE REBELS: 54 – Bruce Chapman

BRUCE CHAPMAN

Years: 1968 to 1970

Career highlights:

■ Scored 940 points in 54 games for a career average of 17.4, which ranks in UNLV’s top 15.

■ The 6-foot-8-inch forward averaged 19.8 points and 8.5 rebounds in the 1968-69 season, when the Rebels went 21-7 and reached the postseason.

■ Joined in the Top 100 by teammates Curtis Watson, Cliff Findlay, Don Lyons and Tom Watkins.

Quotable: "We didn’t have the 3-pointer when I played, and I was a longball shooter. There was no shot clock and no dunking, and we averaged 100 points a game. If we had the 3-pointer, how many points would we have averaged?" — Chapman

Currently: Semi-retired and lives in Las Vegas. Chapman and his wife, Dr. Pam Moore, have one daughter, Kelly, and two grandchildren.
