"We had a little void in our schedule and Coach Copelan stepped in and he helped us out," Utah head coach Brian Holman said of Fairfield. "We're going up to UMass, Coach Manny's alma mater, and I have so much respect for that program and Coach Cannella. They exude a lot of what we hope to become in toughness and grittiness.
"It's a good representation of teams we admire and teams we want to look like, and what better way for our guys to learn but by playing them."
