The battle of the bigs
Although neither Chris Jackson nor Luke Nevill played well against New Mexico in the Mountain West Conference opener, it's time to ask an important question about Utah's pair of centers.
Who's going to be the go-to guy?
They split time equally for the better part of the nonconference schedule, as coach Ray Giacoletti tried to give Nevill, the redshirt freshman, as much experience as he could in the early going.
Jackson is in his fifth and final season at Utah, and although he's had a magnificent year so far - the 6-foot-10 senior was shooting more than 75 percent from the field before UNM - he won't be around beyond March.
When the going gets tight, the emphasis won't be on trying to improve as much as it was in nonconference. It will be on trying to find a way to win.
Which big guy is going to get it done?
