SALT LAKE CITY - Utah fans got their much anticipated first look at the 2000-01 men's basketball team on Thursday during the team's annual Night with the Runnin' Utes at the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
With only four lettermen returning from last season, the evening was the first chance for fans put faces with the names and numbers on this year's roster.
The Red Team tied the White Team in the intrasquad scrimmage thanks to a strong second half. Led by nine points from sophomore forward Mike Puzey and eight points from junior college transfer guard Kevin Bradley, the White won the first 15-minute half, 25-18.
The coaching staff switched-up the squads in the second half. The Red line-up, made up primarily of junior college guards Bradley and Travis Spivey, Puzey, return missionary Britton Johnsen and Duke transfer Chris Burgess, blew by the White early in the second half with a 19-4 spurt through the first 11 minutes. However, the White rallied to make it 23-16.
Puzey had a double-double with 13 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Bradley shot 6-of-9 from the field and 4-of-4 at the line to post a game-high 17 points. He also had three boards and two steals. Burgess had 11 points and three blocked shots, while Trace Caton, another return missionary, had 10 points. Forward Cameron Koford, who played one season at Weber State before serving a two-year Mormon mission, had eight points and eight rebounds. Redshirt freshman guard Nick Jacobson also had eight points.
Prior to the scrimmage, Burgess won the 3-point shootout over Jon Godfread in a long-distance battle of the big men. Britton Johnsen defeated Burgess in the slam dunk contest in front of a crowd of over 3,000. Fans also got the chance to get autographs from their favorite Utes after the scrimmage.
Utah opens the exhibition season on Nov. 2 against the EA Sports California All-Stars at 7:00 p.m. in the Huntsman Center.
