Nevill Wins MWC Award Yet Again
Is it time to name the award after him yet?
Center Luke Nevill won the Mountain West Conference's player of the week award for the fifth time this season, sharing it with Wyoming's Brandon Ewing after helping the Utes beat Colorado State 89-79 in overtime last week. Nevill scored 23 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and officially blocked seven shots – even though one of them was mistakenly credited to him instead of forward Shaun Green.
Still, one of Nevill's last blocks kept CSU's Marcus Walker from making a game-winning basket at the end of regulation, and the Utes remained atop the league. Incidentally, the Utes have moved within striking distance of the national polls, checking in at 26th in both the AP Top 25 and the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.
