Utes Attracting Crowds — And Scouts
It will be interesting to see how big a crowd comes to watch the Utes play LSU tonight, considering that fans otherwise have responded to the marquee games that coach Jim Boylen arranged for the home schedule this season.
The Utes have averaged 10,333 fans for the previous marquee match-ups against Oregon, Cal and Gonzaga, with a season-high 12,571 attending the upset of the Zags last week. That compares to an average of only 8,138 fans for the other four home games so far.
Certainly, pro scouts will do their part.
The Utes expect 31 scouts from 21 NBA teams to attend the game tonight, presumably to watch 7-foot-2 center Luke Nevill go against LSU's Chris Johnson, his lean 6-11 counterpart who's versatile enough to play both inside and outside.
