SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team turns its attention Holy Cross after Saturday night's thrilling OT victory against Weber State as it prepares for a Monday night bout against the Crusaders starting at 7 p.m. (MDT) inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
Chris Sylvester and former Runnin' Utes assistant coach Joe Cravens once again guide fans through the action on ESPN+ as Utah and Holy Cross duke it out for just the third time in program history.
GUARDS STEP UP
Utah guards
Terrence Brown (36) and
Don McHenry (26) stepped up when the Utes needed them the most this past Saturday, combining for 62 points – including 34 in the second half. With Utah down 72-62 with 8:11 left to play, Brown and McHenry scored 18 of Utah's 22 points down the stretch to help send the game into overtime – but none more important than the corner 3-pointer from McHenry to knot it up with :04 on the clock. It was all Brown in the overtime period with the junior scoring six of Utah's eight points in OT; McHenry accounted for the other basket.
In addition, the pair also accounted for nine rebounds in the second half and OT. Brown and McHenry only had a combined one rebound in the first half.
WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU?
Guard
Terrence Brown had a career-high night for the Utes vs. Weber State, scoring 36 points to go with 4 rebounds 3 assists and a steal. It marks just the fifth time since 1996-97 that Utah has had someone score at least 36 points in a single game.
