Nevill Named Player of the Week
For only the second time in his career, center Luke Nevill has been named the Mountain West Conference player of the week.
The 7-foot-2 center averaged 15.3 points and 10 rebounds as the Utes knocked off Wisconsin-Green Bay, Ole Miss and Morgan State in the Glenn Wilkes Classic, and added seven blocks, four assists and three steals. He shot 20-for-29 from the floor, too.
"Luke is competing harder and he's taking coaching very well," coach Jim Boylen said. "He's been very coachable and has embraced his teammates more this year. He has stepped outside of himself and has played more for his team and his teammates than he did last year. He has just recommitted to playing for his teammates, while trying to learn and grow. He's let me coach him more this year and I'm proud of him for doing that."
