Thing Won't Get Any Easier for Utes
The Utes are coming off one of their most embarrassing home defeats, but don't expect them to have an easy time getting back on track.
The Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix who visit the Huntsman Center on Tuesday night are a veteran team that returns all five starters, just like the Utes. In fact, they have 90 percent of their scoring back after going 15-15 last season in the Horizon League.
"This is really our most talented team and our deepest team," coach Tod Kowalczyk said. "I think right now we have seven starters."
That could be bad news for the Utes, who played like they had only about three in an 80-79 loss to Division II Southwest Baptist last weekend.
The Phoenix are undersized, with nobody taller than 6-foot-9, but also versatile -- senior forward Mike Schachtner finished in the top 10 in the Horizon League in field-goal, three-point and free-throw shooting percentage last season, and senior Ryan Tillema is a 6-8 shooting guard.
