Utes Shooting to Buck Road Trend and Shut Down Anderson
One last thought before the Utes tip off against the Falcons here at Clune Arena ...
The Utes have lost three of their last four road games, and center Luke Nevill has been decidedly less effective away from home in the Mountain West Conference season. While he's averaging 22.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in his last three home games, he's getting only 11 points and 7.3 rebounds in his last three on the road.
On the plus side?
The Falcons don't have anybody who can guard him, and seem to be entirely dependent on senior guard Tim Anderson.
If he can score, they can win. If not, they're screwed -- witness the mere 38 points they scored at San Diego State the other night. Anderson managed only seven points in the loss at Utah last month -- the Utes have been pretty good at smothering top scorers -- and averages only 11.5 points in Falcon league losses. In their league wins, he's getting 22.5 points per game.
