Utes Aim to Extend Winning Streak
It won't be the last time you hear it this season -- an opponent in awe of senior center Luke Nevill.
"He's big and he's skilled," Missouri State coach Cuonzo Martin said, admiringly.
Martin will sic his Bears on Nevill and the Utes tonight, hoping to "make them work" on both ends of the floor so they can build on a home victory over Arkansas last weekend that christened the new JQH Arena on campus. Meanwhile, the Utes have won three straight thanks in part to their newfound depth, coach Jim Boylen said.
"Our depth has showed," he said.
The Utes are 5 1/2-point favorites tonight, which makes sense, considering the Bears were picked to finish last in the Missouri Valley Conference. The game figures to be something of a preview of the new annual "challenge" between the MVC and the Mountain West that starts next season -- though the Utes are hoping to land a home game to kick that off.
Oh, and by the way ... the mtn. network was planning to televise this game, until the production company here in Missouri whose broadcast feed it planned to use decided to cancel.
