Basketball: More on Utah team's performance at Cincy all-star affair
Just got a nice report from a reliable source on the Utah Pump-N-Run team's performance at the Cincinnati "It Takes 5ive" all-star tournament that I thought I would pass along.

First, a couple of players were not able to make the trip -- Bingham's Ben Clifford and Shad Sommerville. Second, Copper Hills' Tyler Fa'alogo was ill and not able to play. As a result, coach Todd Phillips had to use some of the players from UP&R's White team, and the results weren't that great.

The team won its first game 76-58 over the St. Louis Salukis behind a 25-point effort by Kyle Collinsworth. Neal Monson added 12 points and 10 rebounds and Nicholas Paulos chipped in 13 points, making three three-pointers.

They lost the second game of pool play 72-55 to the Atlanta Express and played poorly.

In the first bracket play game, UP&R led by four points with 23 seconds left against the Queen City Prophets of Cincy, but let it get away with a turnover on an out-of-bounds play and lose, 64-63.

Paulos had six three-pointers en route to 22 points, and Collinsworth added 16 points. Wil Watkins of Olympus, who usually plays for the White team, added 15.

UP&R consistently had 50 or so college coaches watching its games.

Oly's Connor Brady and Springville's Raul Delgado also played for the Red team.
