Frost and center Andrew Boput made it difficult for Araujo to operate down low. Araujo only finished with eight points, shooting just from the field. The two Ute centers confused and pounded Araujo with their size and strength. No other team in the conference has the size that the Utes have, which give Utah the advantage down low against a team like BYU. Bigelow is second on the team in scoring with 137 points per game, and in the first half of the matchup against Utah earlier in the season, he showed just how great a shooter he can be.

Along with Bogut, the team's leading scorer, Nick Jacobson. went off in final 10 minutes of the game and also finished with 21 points. The Utes went on to complete the comeback with a 64-5- 6 victory in acting head coach Kerry Rupp's first game after Rick Majerus left the team. "We just have be consistent on offense by getting the ball inside to Bogut and screening for Nick," Frost said. Jacobson knows how much of an advantage the Utes have with Bogut in the middle and what it means to the team to get him the ball. "We have to work the inside-out game a little bit more with Bogut, which will free us up on the outside to hit some perimeter shots," Jacobson said.

The lone bright spot for the Utes was sophomore hurler Jason Price, who went the distance in the first game, giving up only-sihits and three unearned runs. His fielders, however, committed two costly errors behind him, and were unable to muster any kind of offense when called upon to do so. The result was a o loss that turned out to be the best game of the series. In game two, junior Doug Mackay suffered his third loss of the season, giving up six earned runs on seven hits and two walks.

And with their third-plac- e performance, the Utes might have just done that, but will not know for sure until tomorrow's conference call to decide who has qualified. "I think we have very good chances to qualify a full team, but I have two concerns right now," U ski coach Kevin Sweeney said. "The first is deciding who is going to be our third alpine guy, and the second is seeing how Lauren Lattimer is doing." Lattimer tore her MCL and is in a cast right now, but will qualify for the NCAAs. "She will qualify, but she is hanging on the edge, and that injury is on my mind," Sweeney said. "We have to see some improvement this week in that ligament before she is going to be able to compete." Besides the injury to Lattimer, which is the main issue on Sweeney's mind, the team's performance over the weekend really boosted his confidence. "Just like last year, we are peaking at the same time," he said. In junior Henning Dybendal won the classical run, which was no surprise to Sweeney. "He has been the No. 1 or No. 2 skier all season long and there is no doubt that he is going to be favored to be a double medalist at the NCAAs," Sweeney said. The Utes really shined on the alpine runs. On the women's side, Hyldahl and April Mancuso both finished in the top five. "There was not a question about it, this was one of the best weekends that the alpine team had," Sweeney said. On the men's side, Ben Thornhill finished first on the giant slalom and fifth on the men's slalom, while Gas-pPerricone finished 12th on the men's slalom.
