THE RUNDOWN

• KEY MATCHUP: Utah's Luke Nevill vs. BYU's Trent Plaisted. In six previous meetings. Nevill has usually won the individual battle, but lost the war four times.

• FAST FACT: Utah has a 124-121 edge in the all-time series, which began in 1909.

• PLAYER TO WATCH: Lee Cummard may be the MVP of the MWC so far and if the Utes can't slow him, they'll have a hard time winning.
