* Spivey has started 45 games over the last two seasons since transferring from Salt Lake Community College. He has led the Utes in assists both years. In his Utah career, he has averaged 5.6 points and 4.0 assists per game.

The Last Time Around
Britton Johnsen scored 25 points and Utah overcame a horrid shooting start to beat New Mexico 81-51 on Jan. 21 in The Pit for the Utes' 11th straight win. It was Utah's most decisive road win since beating Loyola Marymount 89-50 on Nov. 25, 1997.
Utah missed 11 straight shots after Ute guard Travis Spivey opened the scoring with a three-pointer. That allowed New Mexico to take a 12-4 lead, but the Lobos failed to fully capitalize on the Utes' early shooting problems.
A pair of free throws by Johnsen and the first of Phil Cullen's five three-pointers in the game kick-started the Utes' offense. After that there was no stopping them. Utah hit six straight three-pointers and Johnsen repeatedly schooled New Mexico sophomore center Patrick Dennehy, scoring over him or beating Dennehy for backdoor layups. Johnsen hit 9-of-12 shots. Cullen added 15 points, going 5-for-6 from beyond the arc.
When Utah wasn't finding Johnsen, Cullen and Trace Caton were leading a prolific outside assault that saw the Utes hit 12-of-18 three-pointers. An 18-2 run gave Utah a 32-20 lead with 4:15 left in the first half. After missing 11 of their first 12 shots, the Utes hit 12 of their last 16 in the first half.
Utah turned it into a rout midway through the second half as Johnsen scored six straight points for a 56-37 lead. New Mexico helped assure the loss by missing 13-of-25 free throws. Ruben Douglas led New Mexico with 21 points
The Runnin' Utes are 18-5 overall and in second place in the Mountain West Conference with an 8-2 record heading into Monday night's home game against New Mexico at 10:03 p.m. (MST) in the Jon M.

KILL ME NOW! I'M HERE KILL ME!
FWIW, fellas. I'm also on the Utes, and have a bigger play on the 1st 1/2. Tonite is senior nite, as Teddy pointed out. Utah has lost 2 straight senior nite games, and last year was to the same New Mx team to a score of 64-68, I believe. The Utes have a lot more to play for than New Mx, so I expect the team to come out with more intensity and built a good size lead......hopefully.
Utes-9 x2
Utes-4.5 1st 1/2 x4
GL Everyone, see you at the window
:toast:
Utes-9 x2
Utes-4.5 1st 1/2 x4

Well.....Late nite crew.....Hope you don't mind if I join the party. I have the Utes -8 1/2....
Ted.... I usually am up late and follow the posts .... get a kick out of the semi-clad gorgeous women....:brows:
Also.... I have a question ..... I generally get my local lines at 6:30 P.M. and on a number of occasions, I have the oppurtunity to catch middles, sometimes with as many as 5 or 6 point differences. I don't think its worth it on a two point difference, but what do you guys think is a good spread to shoot these middles......
Any thoughts on this is appriciated......
Good Luck to all.......
