Utes Impress Rival Coach With Win
If coach Heath Schroyer had any lingering hard-feelings toward the Utes after they blasted his listless Wyoming Cowboys 91-67 -- and after a post-game handshake with counterpart Jim Boylen that appeared cordial and genuine -- he certainly didn't show it.
In fact, he offered high praise for the Utes.
"They're a good team for a lot of reasons," he said. "But they have probably the best post presence in our league." Center Luke Nevill is "probably a late first-round draft pick, and they surround him with four guys who can shoot it and a guy who can really slash it. And the second part of that is they're very, very good in transition. So you have two worlds there that you really have to stop."
Schroyer said the Utes have improved with another year of experience in Boylen's system, and are significantly better in transition than last season. "When they shoot the three, I think they're as good as anybody in our league," he added.
