Utes Hoping Kepkay Will Be Ready for Tulsa
Good news for the Utes.

Looks like guard Tyler Kepkay might not be hurt as badly as originally feared, after he took a shot to his ribs during Utah's victory at UTEP in the College Basketball Invitational the other night. Coach Jim Boylen said he feared the junior had a cracked rib, but director of basketball operations Jon Dykema reports that post-game X-rays seemed to show that was not the case.

Kepkay is feeling better, Dykema said, and is expected to be evaluated again today by the team doctor.

The Utes are hopeful that Kepkay will be available to play at Tulsa in the tournament quarterfinals on Monday night. That game is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. MT, and will be televised on Fox College Sports, in addition to being available online for $6.95.
