Planning on a Regular Lineup & Rotation
Looks like the Utes will take the floor for their first exhibition game against Montana Tech on Thursday with the starting lineup they would prefer to use most of the time.
Coach Jim Boylen confirmed today that Tyler Kepkay will start at point guard, with Lawrence Borha at shooting guard, Stephen Weigh at small forward, Shaun Green at power forward and Luke Nevill at center. And rather than plan to use his entire roster to assess all of his players -- though he figures to get the chance, anyway, against an NAIA opponent -- Boylen said he expects to use his players the way he normally would in a regular-season game.
"We're going to try to have a rotation," he said.
The only player who won't be available is backup guard Curtis Eatmon, who is still out with a lingering groin injury and scheduled to see a specialist about it. Forward Kim Tillie suffered a minor ankle injury in practice, Boylen said, but he's still expected to play in the exhibition.
