Weigh Expected to Return Against Utah State
Looks like injured forward Stephen Weigh is feeling a lot better these days.
The 6-foot-6 sophomore returned to practice Monday for the first time since hurting his ribs in a fall against Santa Clara two weeks ago -- that wouldn't have anything to do with watching his replacement play so well, would it? -- and is expected to return to action against Utah State in the Huntsman Center on Wednesday night.
Coach Jim Boylen said Weigh won't start, but probably will come off the bench. "He will probably play some, but I don't know how much," Boylen said. Weigh looked loose and comfortable during practice Tuesday, for whatever that's worth.
Meanwhile, freshman guard Carlon Brown will remain the starter, having played well both times he started in place of Weigh. In the 78-66 victory over UC Irvine last weekend, Brown scored 12 points on 6-for-10 shooting, with three rebounds, a blocked shot and an assist. No turnovers, either.
In any case, getting Weigh back will help -- whatever role he fills. "He's a threat, he can play two positions," Boylen said. "It's good."
