Now that football is basically over, coach Jim Boylen held the first of his weekly press conferences today at the Huntsman Center, although there was little new for him to report.

Except bad news, anyway.

Forward Stephen Weigh remains questionable to play at Weber State on Wednesday, because of his lingering rib injury -- and Boylen made it sound like his third-leading scorer could be out awhile. He still has not practiced since the last game a week ago.

"I'm not sure when his return will be," Boylen said. "I don't want say it's a day-to-day thing, because that's not correct. But it is a thing that hopefully he can snap out of it soon and recover. But it's a very difficult injury to gauge."

Weigh often can loosen up as a day goes on or he warms up on a stationary bicycle, Boylen said, only to stiffen back up "like it was the first day." Weigh had been bothered by a rib injury during the preseason, but suffered the latest flare-up when he was undercut and fell hard on his shoulder during the loss to Santa Clara a week ago.

If Weigh can't go against the Wildcats, freshman guard Carlon Brown will take his place in the starting lineup -- basically giving the Utes a three-guard look with point guard Tyler Kepkay and shooting guard Lawrence Borha alongside Brown. Backup guard Luka Drca also would see more time off the bench.
