Utes picked to win MWC
Utah, under second-year head coach Ray Giacoletti, returns two starters and four other lettermen for the 2005-06 season. Markson, a 6-7, 198-pound forward from Monrovia, Calif., is Utah's top returning scorer (10.4 ppg) and rebounder (3.9 rpg). He earned third team all-conference honors last season. The other returning starter is senior point guard Tim Drisdom. Among the Utes' losses is center Andrew Bogut, who was the consensus 2004-05 national player of the year.
Utah adds redshirt freshman center Luke Nevill and five newcomers to this year's roster. However, Misha Radojevic, a junior transfer post player from Serbia, has already been lost for the season due to a torn ACL.
The Runnin' Utes went 29-6 last year, winning the Mountain West Conference regular season championship with a 13-1 record and advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
