The U women's basketball team has a perfect 11-0 record in MWC play, but that doesn't mean the Utes have easily breezed past everyone they've played.

Over a span of about five minutes in the second half of the Runnin' Utes recent loss to New Mexico, Ute fans got a peek at what their star center is capable of when he plays near the fullest of his ability. Nevill, who was saddled with two fouls early and forced to ride the pine for the majority of the first half, put his foot on the gas pedal midway through the latter half and dominated around the hoop.
