Woo hoo! Another tip off at 10:30 at night! Why can’t we do like a 9pm tip off at the very least? Anyway, the Utes take on the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels tonight in Vegas, in a former conference rivalry renewed. UNLV is 4-0 on the season, like the Utes, and may prove to be the best opponent for the Utes to date.
The Utes do have to content with a stud freshman, Brandon McCoy, who is averaging 20 points and 11 boards a game. Plus, Utah will have to be disciplined in the half court, because UNLV is a run and gun team, and if Utah has live ball turnovers, the Rebs will be off to the races.
