SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah men's basketball team opened its exhibition season with an 83-40 pasting of Montana Tech Thursday night at the Huntsman Center.
New Runnin' Ute head coach Jim Boylen's first contest ever at the Huntsman Center began with a junior Luke Nevill (Perth, Australia) dunk 13 seconds into the contest and Utah never trailed. The game was tied for just more than one minute when Jeramie Hopson answered for the Orediggers. A 10-0 Utah run was sparked by back-to-back three-pointers from juniors Shaun Green (Salt Lake City) and Tyler Kepkay (Vancouver, B.C.) and the rout was on.
Ute sophomore Stephen Weigh (Rockhampton, Australia) led all scorers with 21 points on 8-of-15 shooting. Nevill chipped in 16 for the Utes, while Green was also in double figures with 11. Green added a game-high six assists for Utah, while sophomore Kim Tillie (Cagnes-sur Mer, France) pulled down a game-high seven rebounds. Utah shot .536 (30-of-56) from the field, including a .440 mark (11-of-25) from beyond the arc. The Runnin' Utes held a 42-20 advantage on the boards.
