Landmark Win Would Look Great With a Big Red Bow On It
Happy Birthday, Luke Nevill.
The Big Softie turns 22 today -- he and senior Chris Grant are the only scholarship players on the team with birthdays during the season -- but said he doesn't plan any epic celebration. Instead, he's happy to be finally getting over an illness that had been bothering him since last week.
In fact, Nevill jokingly said he had been scarfing down so many medications to help him combat the illness that he felt "like a zombie" during the Utes' victory over San Diego State last weekend.
Yet the birthday gift of good health might not necessarily mean that much to the Utes at Brigham Young on Wednesday night, considering neither Nevill nor the Utes have had much luck in the first game after his birthday. As a freshman, he had a modest 12 points and seven rebounds in a loss at UNLV, and he did not play in a loss at Wyoming last season because of a hip injury.
