January 15, 2002

The inside threat is gone, so the U men's basketball team has naturally switched scoring locales?with early success.

Sports Get Too Hard When You Get Older

January 15, 2002

It's all because of the yellow and purple jerseys. They were cool. The only team in the NBA that did not wear white unis when playing at home, the Los Angeles Lakers also had the fashion sense to make their road duds purple. As a 5-year-old, I was hooked.

The Utes placed second in last week's Montana Invitational, and did so again in this week's Nevada Invitational (held, oddly enough, in Sugarbowl, Calif.).
