Show Tuesday, January 9,2007 10 RUNNIN' UTES FACE TEST VS. CSU continuedjrom Page 7 surprisingly, Creason ranks second on the team with 11.5 points and 6,1 rebounds per game. The tandem has buoyed a highlow attack unlike any other in college basketball and has produced a number of problems for Colorado State opponents. "Colorado State does a great job putting both of their bigs together, and they've caused a lot of problems," Giacoletti said. "We've got to defend both of them but also watch the perimeter for kickouts." When the defense does collapse on the two big men, they have found a considerable amount of success dishing out to the perimeter, where Tyler Smith and Stephan Gilling have reaped the benefits. Smith ranks third on the team with 11.4 points per game, while Gilling is shooting an impressive 43 percent from behind the arc. But the attention in this game won't be at the three-point line. It will be focused on the battle raging down low between the three big men. "We need to work to get Luke (Nevill) touches with a foot in the paint," Giacoletti said. "He's not nearly as effective away from the basket, and CSU is going to try to keep him out of there." The Utcs will try to bounce back and get their first conference win tonight when they face Colorado State. c.brunner@chronicleMtah.edu THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE WANTED The Daily Utah Chronicle is looking for page designers and A&E reporters. -Stop by Union 236 and fill out an application today!
