Utes Solid at Line When It Matters
One thing that should help the Utes tonight against UNLV is their free-throw shooting.
Not only do the Utes lead the Mountain West Conference and rank fourth nationally by hitting 78.2 percent, but they're even better in the clutch (despite a few wobbles in some recent games). In "clutch situations," which the Utes define as the last two minutes of regulation and all of overtime with the score within 10 points either way, they're making 81.3 percent.
Guard Tyler Kepkay is among the best, having made 28 of 31 free throws since the league season began, and the Utes won at Colorado State last week in large part because they made all 10 free throws in overtime. In fact, they're close to the school record for free-throw percentage in a season -- 79.1 percent in 1992-93.
