Hometown Kid Faces Old Teammate
We're only a few minutes from tip-off between the Utes and UC Irvine here at the Bren Events Center, and the red-clad Utah fans are making a pretty good showing in a mostly empty arena.
One big reason is probably forward Carlon Brown, who played at nearby King High School in Riverside and will be going against a former prep teammate tonight. UCI's Eric Wise is a freshman -- a year behind Brown -- and leads the Anteaters by scoring 11.6 points per game, while fellow King grad Rashaad Ubah is a walk-on who has yet to play in a regular-season game.
That probaby explains all of the King High School sweatshirts I saw on the way into the arena, as well, and the big cheer Brown enjoyed during pre-game introductions.
