Utah senior forward David Collette said with a straight face that Saturday’s game against Utah State will be “just another game.” He wouldn’t admit to having this game circled on the schedule, marked on the calendar or in any way set aside in his mind.
Collette, a 6-foot-10 Murray High graduate who began his collegiate career playing for the Aggies, had a contentious parting of ways with the program two years ago. This weekend, he’ll face the program and the coaching staff he left for the first time since he transferred when the Utes (6-2) and Aggies (5-5) clash in the opening game of the Beehive Classic at 5:30 p.
