Freshman Improving at the Point
With point guard Jace Tavita due to make probably his last start for awhile tonight against Utah State, it's worth noting that he enjoyed his most productive performance in the victory over Weber State on Saturday.

The freshman handed out a career-high four assists (though he committed three turnovers), grabbed two rebounds, blocked two shots and made a steal in 18 minutes of the 74-64 victory at the Huntsman Center. That was more than he had done in his previous three games combined, in place of injured and suspended Luka Drca.

Drca is serving the second game of his two-game suspension tonight, and should be back in the starting lineup when the Utes play at UC Irvine on Saturday.

Oh, and if anybody has seen Kim Tillie, will you please call the number on the back of the milk carton?

Though the 6-foot-10 forward had started the season well, he has all but disappeared lately, averaging just 1.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in his last five games -- including a scoreless and reboundless 17 minutes against the Wildcats.

There are few better feelings in life than a Ute loss to anyone in anything. Go Aggies! Roll Tide!

Nice clock work Naven. Next time, try to beat us straight up.
