NINE UTES MAKE HONOR ROLL: Nine Ute basketball players (seven on scholarship) were named to the Academic Honor Roll for their performance in the classroom fall semester. Scholarship players making the list with at least a 3.0 GPA are HANNO MOTTOLA (3.82 GPA), ADAM SHARP (3.46 GPA), SHANE WILLIS (3.29 GPA), JEREMY KILLION (3.21) PHIL CULLEN (3.05 GPA), GARY COLBERT (3.07 GPA) and BRAD CROCKETT (3.00 GPA). Two walk-on players SID KROMMENHOEK (3.93 GPA) and ZAC DALTON (3.34 GPA) also made the list. Ute coach RICK MAJERUS has had 95 players make the honor roll during his tenure at Utah.
MAJERUS' MARK: Ute coach RICK MAJERUS is in his 10th season at the helm of the Runnin' Utes. Majerus has a 223-63 (.780) mark as Ute coach, the best record of any coach in the modern era of Utah basketball. He is in his 14th year as a major college head coach and has a 322-115 career record. His .737 career winning percentage ranks him seventh in the country among active coaches and 21st all-time. Majerus has won six WAC titles and made six trips to the NCAA Tournament, reaching the "Sweet 16" four times, the "Elite Eight" twice and the "Final Four" once.
UTES AMONG THE TOP TEAMS IN THE 90'S: The Runnin' Utes have been one of the most successful college basketball teams in this decade. Under coach RICK MAJERUS the Utes have posted a 235-75 record for a .758 winning percentage in the 1990's. Utah is ranked 9th in the nation in total victories during that period. During the last six years the Utes are ranked seventh in the nation in total wins (141-39) and eighth in winning percentage (.783).
ANDRE TIME: ANDRE MILLER leads the Ute attack this season. The 6-2, senior guard was a non-qualifier as a freshman but became one of the first athletes to take advantage of a new NCAA rule allowing non-qualifiers an extra year of eligibility if they graduated in four years. Miller received his degree in sociology last June and the Utes are the better for it this season. Andre had an outstanding NCAA Tournament. He was named the MVP of the West Region after the Utes knocked off defending champion Arizona 76-51. In that game Miller became the first player since Magic Johnson to hit for a triple double when he scored 18 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and passed for 13 assists. He also was named to the "Final Four" all-Tournament team as the Utes made it to the NCAA Championship game. For the six NCAA games Andre averaged 16.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. Currently Andre is leading the Utes in scoring averaging 16.7 points per game. He is also averaging 6.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists for the season.
ANDRE HONORS: ANDRE MILLER is a top 30 candidate for the Wooden Award and a candidate for the Naismith Player of the Year Award. He was also named to most pre-season All-American teams including garnering first team honors on the Associated Press and Playboy Magazine pre-season teams. He is rated by most pre-season publications as one of the top two point guards in the nation. This year he has been named to the all-tournament team at the Maui Invitational and the MVP of the Great Eight Tournament as well as WAC Player of the Week for his games against Rhode Island and Long Beach State when he scored 57 points in the two games.
UTES SWEEP WESTERN ROAD TRIP: The Utes swept their first conference road trip of the season downing San Diego State 79-53 on Saturday and Hawai'i 60-46 on Monday. San Diego native JEREMY KILLION led the Utes against the Aztecs scoring a career-high 23 points. ANDRE MILLER came within one assist of picking up a triple double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. HANNO MOTTOLA also scored 16 points while TONY HARVEY netted 14. The Utes also set a new school record for three-point attempts hosting up 34 shots from behind the line ... against Hawai'i the Utes again played outstanding defense holding the Bows to just .353 shooting from the field. Miller was again on fire as he scored 17 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, passed for 7 assists and tied his career-high with 6 steals. ALEX JENSEN also had a good game as he tied his career-high of 17 points, while MOTTOLA added 13.
MONDAY, MONDAY: The Utes are in the middle of three straight Monday games on the ESPN Big Monday TV package. The Utes won at Hawai'i last Monday and will host Fresno State in a 10 p.m. game this Monday. They will conclude the trifecta with a Feb. 1 Big Monday appearance at New Mexico. That game also tips at 10 p.m. Utah is scheduled for one more appearance on the network this season. That will be the Feb. 6 game at BYU which wil be shown on ESPN2 and will also tipoff at 10 p.m..
A LOOK AT THE SPARTANS: San Jose State is a much improved team over last season. The Spartans are 9-7 on the season and 2-1 in WAC games going into this series with BYU and Utah. San Jose State's last three games have seen them beat Fresno State (91-64) and UTEP (64-63 in OT) and lose 82-81 to New Mexico in overtime ... Spartan coach PHIL JOHNSON is in his first year and has a 9-7 career coaching record.

SAN JOSE STATE: Utah leads in the series with SJS 11-2 ... last meeting took place in 1992 with the Utes winning 60-47 in Salt Lake ... last San Jose State win was a 72-70 victory in 1984 in Salt Lake ... the Spartans also won the first meeting between the two teams, a 40-34 win in 1936 in San Jose ...

G-24 Chris Herren (6-3, 185, Sr) 14.2, 1.8, 7.1
RICK'S REMARKS: ON THE UTES: "I think we are integrating our top eight players into a rotation. I fully intended to play Tyson Johnston against Hawai'i but the opportunity didn't present itself. I really like the way the young players are coming around and I enjoy the great spirit that the team has. I think we are becoming a much better defensive team. What I'm disappointed in is our free throw shooting. We have to shoot the ball better at the free throw line if we have any hope of continuing to have success. You can't shoot 63 percent, as we did in the Hawai'i game, and expect to win big games." ON SAN JOSE STATE: " We look forward to playing a good San Jose State team that has done a great job of turning it around with the same players they had last year. I know that they play very good defense and they spread the floor against Fresno and ran shot clock. We expect them to do the same thing against us and we know they will give a great defensive effort." ON FRESNO STATE: "This is a terrific Fresno State team, one that many people anticipated being a top 20 or top ten team at the start of the season. They have a terrific group of players and any time you face a Tarkanian team you face a team that is well coached with a great defensive emphasis and a team that competes very hard."

RICK MAJERUS HEAD BASKETBALL COACH
Nine years under Head Coach Rick Majerus has entrenched the
University of Utah in the nation's basketball power structure.
Majerus, the winningest Utah basketball coach in modern times
(223-63, .780 winning percentage), has led the Utes to unprecedented
success. That fact was crystallized when Majerus led his 1997-98 Utes
to the NCAA "Final Four" where they beat number one ranked North
Carolina in the semifinals to advance to the final game. It was the
first time since 1944 a Ute team had made it to an NCAA Championship
game.
In the 90-year history of Utah basketball, the Utes have never enjoyed a nine-year stretch like the Majerus tenure. Despite the fact Majerus coached just six games in his first season, due to heart surgery, his clubs have averaged 23 wins per year during that time. His seven postseason appearances (six NCAA) is a school coaching benchmark. Never before has a Ute team advanced to the Sweet 16 four times in a seven-year span. Majerus' teams own six Western Athletic Conference championships, including the last four, a feat never before achieved at Utah. In 1996-97, his Utes captured both the Mountain Division crown and the WAC Tournament title. Last year, Utah repeated as the WAC Mountain Division champion with a 12-2 record.
Majerus' success goes far beyond the conference level. In six trips to the NCAA as Utah's coach, he has yet to lose a first round game. Utah, Kentucky and Arizona are the only teams to make the Sweet Sixteen in each of the last three years. For the second straight year, Majerus led his team into the Elite Eight. For the last two years, his teams have taken up permanent residence in the Top-10. He coached last year's team to Utah's first Final Four berth in 22 years. Actually, it is his second "Final Four" of some sort at Utah. In 1992, Utah made the Final Four of the National Invitational Tournament.
In terms of wins and losses, Majerus has few peers. His .737 career winning percentage is seventh among active NCAA coaches and ranks 21st all-time. Majerus' feats have earned him national recognition and respect. The three-time WAC Coach of the Year (1991, '93, '95), was tapped for national honors in 1991 (Basketball Times' and UPI Coach of the Year) and 1992 (Playboy Coach of the Year). He received Playboy National Coach of the Year honors again in 1998. He is also a six-time District Coach of the Year. In a previous two-year stint with Ball State, Majerus received The Hoop Scoop Coach of the Year honors in 1988-89.
Most recently, the WAC media voted him Mountain Division Coach of the Year in 1996-97. He also was voted the John Wooden National Coach of the Year for 1997-98 by the Utah Tip Off Club. Success has followed Majerus at all of his stops. His head coaching career began at Marquette, where he compiled a 56-35 record from 1983-86 and took his teams to three NIT Tournaments. He preceded his Utah tenure with a successful two-year stint at Ball State, where he logged a 43-17 mark, including a 29-3 record and an NCAA 2nd Round berth in 1988-89.
Majerus has an international resume, as well. He served during the summer of 1997 as the head coach of the USA Basketball Men's 22 and under team that competed in the World Championships in Melbourne, Australia. He spent the summer of 1994 as an assistant coach to Don Nelson for the USA "Dream Team 2, which featured the top NBA players in the Men's World Basketball Championships in Toronto. Majerus' reach extends into the classroom. In his time at Utah, 95 players have made the honor roll, including nine this past fall semester. Michael Doleac was named to the 1998 GTE Academic All-America first team, while Drew Hansen made the third team. The Utes were the only school with two players on the 1998 GTE Academic All-America squad. Hansen also won the 1997 Playboy Magazine Anson Mount Scholar/Athlete Award for basketball, was a Rhodes Scholar candidate, an NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship winner and was a finalist for the Walter Byers Award, the highest academic award given by the NCAA. The 1997-98 Utes racked up an excellent 3.31 team GPA spring quarter.
