Utes Aiming to Return to Normalcy
Point guard Jace Tavita says he's just going to try to "do what he does" when he makes his third straight start for the Utes against Weber State at the Huntsman Center today, and the Utes are hoping they can just do what they do against the Wildcats, as well.
Which is, win.
The Utes have won seven straight in the series, and are favored by at least 14 points against the Wildcats today.
They won by 20 on the road last season, and have won 15 of 18 meetings at home -- including three straight since WSU's Jermaine Boyette dropped 27 on them eight years ago in a 79-77 decision.
Nobody has succeeded against the Wildcats like center Luke Nevill, either. The 7-foot-2 senior has averaged 17.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in three career meetings with WSU, and made 24 of 36 shots against the Cats, including an 11-for-12 shooting performance in the last meeting at the Huntsman two years ago -- though forward Shaun Green buried six three-pointers for 18 points against the Wildcats last season.
