Jon M. Huntsman Center

THE UTAH EXPERIENCE

R

egarded as one of the top college basketball arenas in the nation since opening its doors in 1969, the Jon M. Huntsman Center has provided an imposing home court advantage for Utah basketball for more than three decades. For a structure that is in its 41st year of existence, a feeling of newness still pervades underneath the silver dome.

The Utes have one of the best home court advantages in the country in the Huntsman Center. The Utah women have posted an imposing 408-52 mark in the facility (an .887 winning percentage). The Utes have also had nine seasons without a loss at the Huntsman Center. The Utes posted a 28-game home winning streak that lasted from Jan. 12, 1995 to Feb. 8, 1997.

When the string of victories ended, it was the third-best home court winning streak in the nation.

The building, a landmark on the U. campus, is the perfect place to watch a basketball game.

A great view is assured from each of the 15,000 chair seats. Inside Sports recognized the Huntsman Center’s superiority by naming it one of the top five collegiate arenas in the nation.

Bill Cosby was the first performer in the Huntsman Center (formerly the Special Events Center). A couple of nights later, college basketball made its Huntsman Center debut. Basketball greats like Chris Mullin, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Darrell Griffith, Danny Ainge, Tom Chambers and Gary Payton, and women’s NCAA Championship teams such as USC, Stanford and Texas Tech have played here.

The Huntsman Center has housed many major events, including numerous national

championships, regional championships and a number of elite competitions. In 1979, the building played host to the NCAA Basketball Championship — the Final Four “dream match” featuring Bird and Johnson. Men’s NCAA regional tournaments were in the Huntsman Center in 1984, ’85, and ’87. The NCAA first and second rounds took place in the arena in 1988, ’89, ’90, ’91, ’93, ’95, ’97, 2000, ’03 and ’06. The 2001 women’s NCAA first and second rounds were played in the Huntsman Center, marking a first for Utah.

The Huntsman Center ranks third for most NCAA Tournament basketball games hosted, with 84 games having been played in the facility. The Huntsman Center has also served as home to nine national gymnastics championships — most recently in 2007. The Utes hosted the NCAA gymnastics regionals in 2001 and 2003. The gymnastics regionals will return to Utah in 2010.

From its perch at the southeast end of the campus, the Huntsman Center stands sentinel over the University of Utah.

Inside the facility are athletic coaches’ and administrative offices, locker rooms and concession stands. The famous “steel cloud,”

g u i d e

a huge mass of steel and concrete, hangs from the dome’s interior and holds the scoreboard, and the public address and lighting systems.

A new scoreboard was installed at the start of the 2007-08 season. It has four LCD video screens while the scoreboard itself will has live team and individual statistics. Adorning the bottom of the scoreboard is an LED ring by Optotech. The original floor in the Huntsman Center was replaced during the fall of 2002. The floor was most recently repainted and resealed in the summer of 2009.

Strength & Conditioning Principles of the Program

THE UTAH EXPERIENCE

Strength Training The idea is centered on accelerating quicker than our opponent. We will do this by concentrating on quick and explosive lifts, combined with quick and explosive agility, sprint and plyometric drills.

Speed Development Each running session will include acceleration drills more than any other drills. The most important aspect of speed development is the athlete must work at maximum effort in each and every drill.

Alex Smith Strength & Conditioning Center • Opened: July 6, 2009 • Cost: $1.5 million • Funding: Private • Lead Gift: $500,000 pledged on Feb. 12, 2007 by Ute Heisman Trophy finalist and 2005 NFL No. 1 Draft pick Alex Smith • Size: At 17,000 square feet, it is one of the largest college strength & conditioning facilities in the nation • Director: Doug Elisaia, Director of Strength & Conditioning

Top: The exterior of the new Alex Smith Strength and Conditioning Center, which is part of the Dee Glen Smith Athletics Center. Work on the new 17,000 square foot center was completed in early July.

Flexibility It is a traditional part of every strength and conditioning program. When the athlete is not able to put a body joint through the proper range of motion, it can affect performance in various ways.

Mental Toughness These weight training or conditioning sessions push the body way beyond comfort levels, and in some cases, to utter exhaustion. This allows the student-athlete to develop capacity to push through barriers created by pain and fatigue.

Conditioning Conditioning is best obtained by working the energy system with volume.

Conditioning should be cycled with light, medium and heavy days to avoid overtraining. Recovery is often better than work.

Injury Prevention The Utah athlete will be expected to work harder than anyone else when he/she is injured. Staff will work with the athletic training staff to coordinate efforts to bring the athlete back to the playing field as quickly as possible.

Motivating Staff will coach in a very positive manner, always reinforcing our belief in an athlete as a champion in the making. No one outworks, out-hustles or has more ability than a Utah student-athlete.

T

he Utah women’s basketball team has firmly established itself in the top tier of the Mountain West Conference over the years, but will look at a whole new set of challenges in the coming season to be there again. Although the Utes return two starters for the 200910 season, ‘youth is served’ may be the dominant theme of the year with nine underclassmen taking to the court.

Six freshmen and three sophomores grace the roster for the Utes, and several will need to step in early to provide minutes and depth for the team.

“Our freshman class will be of significance in our success this year,” Elliott said. “They are young and talented, but will be needed sooner than later. If would be nice if

2009-10 Season Preview down open shots, but is also a solid guard with the ball on the floor.”

Freshman guard Rita Sitivi averaged 18 points and 10.5 rebounds per game at Marina High School in 2009. She was a two-time league MVP.

“Rita seems most comfortable slashing and playing to the paint, so we may use her as a smaller “four” player in her first year,” Elliott said. “She gets better each day as she adapts to the rigors of competition at this level.”

Freshman guard Chelsea Bridgewater was a two-time first-team all-state player at Timpview High School in Utah. She played in the 4A All-Star game.

“Chelsea is a walk on for us, and will be asked to do everything and anything we need her to do to benefit the team,” Elliott said. “She has already brought a great work ethic and has become a great teammate.”

Point Guard

Sophomore point guard Janita Badon steadily gained more playing time throughout the season last year, sharing the minutes with fellow freshman Hannah Stephens (who has since transferred). She started the final four games of the season in the MWC Tournament and NCAA Tournament. Badon averaged 3.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game with 27 steals.

“Janita continues to improve every day, as she did last year and over the summer,” Elliott said. “All aspects of her game are getting better, and she has committed to improving her shooting ability.”

Junior Hennasea Tokumura sat out last year with an ACL injury but came off the bench in 25 games in 2007-08. She continues to struggle with the injury but is hopeful to be back during the season.

“Hennasea has a return in mind for Thanksgiving, but the doctors will be in charge of that,” Elliott said. “It will then take some time for her to become acquainted with competition again.”

Bigs

Halie Sawyer was in the top five in the conference in rebounds (7.0 per game) and blocks (1.21 per game) last year.

Sawyer has steadily improved each of her three years at Utah and has the potential for all-conference honors at the end of the season. Last year in her first year as a starter, she was fifth in the MWC in rebounding (7.6 per game) and finished fourth in

a number of roles during the last two seasons.

Last year she averaged 8.2 minutes per game in 27 games off the bench. Knight often stepped up wherever she was needed when a teammate was in foul trouble or needed a rest.

“Cydney has become our utility player,” Elliott said. “We have played her from the point guard to the power forward and she has willingly done whatever we have asked of her to help the team. Teammates like that are irreplaceable.”

Redshirt freshman guard Iwalani Rodrigues was rated as the No. 2 overall player in the state of Hawaii and was fifth in the state in scoring as a senior (12.0 ppg). She led both Roosevelt High School (2006 and 2007) and Kalani High School (2008) to state titles.

“Iwa is a very gifted athlete and a smooth player,” Elliott said. “She is, however, a true freshmen in her training, so she has much to learn.”

Freshman guard Rachel Messer helped lead Thunder Ridge high school to the state semifinals in 2008 and the quarterfinals in 2009 and 2007.

The all-state player was in the Colorado prep allstar game as a senior.

“Rachel is the true shooting guard we always like to have,” Elliott said. “She can knock

the conference in blocks (1.21 per game). Sawyer averaged 7.1 points per game.

“I believe Halie will have her best year this year,” Elliott said. “As a senior, she is ready to go.”

Sophomore center Mandy Munns came off the bench in 23 games last year, averaging 1.2 points and 1.3 rebounds per game with a .409 shooting percentage.

“Mandy took this off season and decided she wanted to be a player,” Elliott said. “She has lost weight and greatly improved her mobility.

She is more competitive and I am very proud of what she has done between her freshman and sophomore year.”

Utah added some height to its roster during the offseason with 6’4” Diana Rolniak and 6’3” Taryn Wicijowski starting their careers at Utah.

Rolniak led Regis Jesuit to the 2009 5A state championship with a 24-4 record, averaging 9.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.9 blocks per game.

She set a Colorado state record for career blocked shots and most blocks in a game. Wicijowski averaged 8.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game as a team captain for the Canada Junior National Team at the FIBA World U19 Championships in 2009, helping lead Canada to a fourth-place finish. She also played in the FIBA Americas U18 Championship in 2008.

“Diana is a very long athlete, which is a good addition to our team,” Elliott said. “Her size and length give us some new options.

“Taryn gained valuable experience in international competition this summer. She is more ready than most to see this level of play.”

conference mark below .500. Elliott has coached at least one first-team all-conference player in every season but one. Utah has reached the conference championship game in all but seven MWC, Western Athletic Conference and High Country Athletic tournaments ever held.

The peak of her success has come during the Mountain West Conference era. She has won seven of 10 regular-season titles and three MWC tournaments with a 120-28 (.811) record in conference action.

In 2000-01, Utah went 28-4 with an undefeated 14-0 record in conference play, a feat that had been achieved only one other time in school history. In the NCAA Tournament, Utah hosted the first and second rounds at the Huntsman Center and advanced to its first-ever Sweet 16. The Utes ended their season with a 69-54 loss to Notre Dame, the eventual national champion. Amy Ewert and Lauren Beckman both earned All-America honors that year.

The 2005-06 squad won the MWC Tournament and advanced all the way to the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament behind the play of AllAmericans Kim Smith and Shona Thorburn. Utah nearly continued to the Final Four before falling to Maryland, the eventual national champion, in overtime and finishing with a 27-7 record.

Most recently, the 2007-08 team set a Utah and conference record with a 16-0 mark, finishing the year 27-5 on the heels of All-American Leilani Mitchell.

In the WAC in 1997-98, Elliott guided the Utah program to new heights. The Utes entered the national polls for the first time in the program’s history on Dec. 29 and remained there for 11 consecutive weeks, climbing as high as a tie for No. 9 in the USA Today/ ESPN poll. It was the highest ranking ever earned by a WAC team at the time. Utah won its first 16 games, the best start to a season in Utah and WAC history.

The 1996-97 Utes reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. Elliott has a 9-15 overall record in NCAA Tournament play.

Elliott has coached 16 players to All-America honors with eight players combining for 11 conference player of the year honors. Her players are scattered throughout the Utah, MWC and WAC record books.

She has coached 16 1,000-point scorers.

23rd Year

D

r. Chris Hill has directed the Utah athletics program through the most successful period in its history. The New Jersey native, now in his 23rd year as the athletics director, was just 37 years old when he was appointed to the top athletics post in October of 1987. In 1998, he assumed additional duties as a special assistant to the U. president, granting him membership in the University’s senior administrative cabinet.

Nationally, Hill served on the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee from 2004-09.

It is the latest of several NCAA committee positions for the highly-regarded administrator. He chaired the Championships/Competition Cabinet from 1997-98 and served on the administrative committee for the NCAA Management Council. He was on the executive committee of the National Association of Collegiate Athletics Directors (NACDA) from 2002-06.

But Hill’s biggest impact has been felt on the U. campus, where he has established a legacy of capital improvements, academic excellence, student-athlete support services and winning programs.

Hill initiated a $50 million fund-raising campaign for the construction of Rice-Eccles Stadium, which opened in 1998 and is one of several national-caliber facilities constructed during his term. Two facilities scheduled to open this year are the Alex Smith Strength & Conditioning Center and the McCarthey Family Track & Field Complex.

On the playing field, Utah has established itself as a national power under Hill. Utah is the only non-BCS member school to play in two BCS football games and has won both (the 2005 Fiesta Bowl and the 2009 Sugar Bowl) to cap undefeated seasons. The Utes finished No. 4 and No. 2 in the nation during those BCS years. The men’s basketball team played in the 1998 NCAA Championship game and has made five Sweet 16 and two Elite Eight appearances. Utah has also captured multiple national championships in gymnastics and skiing.

Hill’s background with Utah athletics includes two years as the Crimson Club director of development (198586), and two terms as a basketball assistant coach. He was a graduate assistant on Bill Foster’s staff in 1973-74 and an assistant coach for Jerry Pimm from 1979-81.

While transitioning from coaching to administration, Hill served as the executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah (1981-85), where he raised $750,000 in federal, state and private funding for a housing project for people with severe physical disabilities.

His many accolades include becoming the firstever recipient of the Mountain West Conference’s

COACHES AND STAFF

Special Assistant to the President

Commissioner’s Award in 2004, a 1981 Milton Bennion Fellowship, the 1984 Utah Recreation Therapy Association Outstanding Service award and a 1996 Utah MS Sportsperson of the Year award. He was a 1998 Inductee into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame. In 2001, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports gave him its Degree Completion and Outreach and Community Service Honor Award.

Hill, 59, currently serves on the Regence BlueCross BlueShield Board of Directors and the Catholic Community Services Board of Directors.

t’s not how you start, but how you finish that matters. That was true of the Utah women’s basketball team in 2008-09, when the Utes overcame a 4-6 start to win the Mountain West Conference and move on to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Utah began the year with a brutal schedule.

Although the Utes won their opener against Jackson State, the next four games resulted in tough losses. Louisville (which finished the year as the NCAA runner-up) and Virginia were both ranked, while Gonzaga was receiving votes and South Dakota State moved into the rankings shortly after the start of the season. Utah stopped the slide against Marquette at the WBCA Classic, overcoming a 17-point deficit to defeat the Golden Eagles.

Other early losses came to Weber State and Mississippi State before the Utes began to turn their season around, starting a 12-game winning streak with a victory at Oregon on Dec. 28. After closing out the non-conference schedule against USC and Norfolk State, Utah built on their 16-0 Mountain West Conference season from a year ago to win their first nine games of the conference campaign for a record 25-game MWC regular season winning streak.

Morgan Warburton is the only Utah women’s basketball player ever to shoot over 90-percent from the free-throw line in a season (90.4%).

Four players recorded double figures in scoring as the Utah women’s basketball team opened its season with a 77-49 victory over Jackson State on Monday, Nov. 17, in the Huntsman Center.

Morgan Warburton led the Utes with 18 points, adding seven rebounds and a team-best three steals. Kalee Whipple had 16 points and five rebounds. Katie King pulled down a team-high nine rebounds in addition to her 15 points. Halie Sawyer was the final player in double figures with 13 points.

Although Utah held as much as a 12 point lead in the first half, Jackson State made a late rally in the last two minutes of the half to cut the lead to four, 34-30.

Beatrice Banks led the Lady Tigers in points at the half with eight, while Whipple put up 11 for the Utes.

The Utes began to take control in the second half.

Up 47-38 with 14 minutes remaining, Warburton hit a three-pointer to start a nine-point run over the next four minutes to give Utah a 56-38 lead. The Utes would continue to pull away from there, as they would outscore Jackson State 43-19 in the second half.

Utah was 12-of-13 from the free-throw line and outrebounded Jackson State 44-to-26.

Freshman Hannah Stephens made her first career start at point guard while freshman Janita Badon also saw time at the point. Each athlete had five assists.

Despite 25 points from Morgan Warburton, the Utah women’s basketball team fell to South Dakota State, 7058, on Thursday, Nov. 20.

Kalee Whipple was also in double figures for the Utes with 14 points and had three steals. Halie Sawyer made her first career start and scored eight points. Katie King pulled down 11 rebounds while Warburton added eight rebounds. Hannah Stephens tallied six points and three steals.

Utah took an early 17-7 lead, but the Jackrabbits used a 14-0 run over 3:10 to pull ahead, 21-17 at the 10:26 mark, and didn’t look back from there. South Dakota would hold as much as a 10-point lead in the closing minutes and the Utes trailed at halftime, 36-28.

The game was competitive through much of the second half, as the two teams matched each other shotfor-shot. A three-pointer from Warburton cut the lead to one, 50-49, with 10 minutes remaining.

From that point, SDSU went on a 20-4 scoring drive to take a 17-point lead, 70-53, with 2:16 left in the contest.

Turnovers hurt the Utes, with 26 to South Dakota State’s 14.

Warburton, King and Whipple all finished with four fouls.

Louisville’s Angel McCoughtry scored 13 points and had two key steals in the final 3 minutes to help No. 7 Louisville hold off Utah, 59-48 on Tuesday night.

Morgan Warburton, who played the last 16 minutes with four fouls, had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Utes. Warburton’s free throw with 3:29 to play trimmed the lead to 52-48, but Utah came up empty on its next two possessions as McCoughtry had a pair of steals.

The Cardinals made 7-of-8 free throws down the stretch to seal the win in their first ever game at Utah.

McCoughtry faced intense defensive pressure from the Utes. She was just 3-of-14 from the field, but had five steals and two blocks to foil the Utes’ upset bid.

After the Utes jumped out to an 8-2 lead, the Cardinals forced eight turnovers in a five-minute period and took a 12-8 advantage. The lead see-sawed back and forth until the Cardinals scored the last seven points of the half for a 31-23 advantage at the break. Warburton sat during the run with three fouls.

Louisville built its lead to as many as 11 midway through the second half, but couldn’t shake Utah until the final minutes.

Kalee Whipple was also in double figure scoring with 15 points.

Nov. 30, 2008 - Milwaukee, Wis.

Kalee Whipple paced Utah with 16 points as the Utes dropped their second game of the WBCA Classic, 60-55 to Gonzaga.

Whipple was one of four Utes in double figures. Morgan Warburton had 13 points, while Halie Sawyer and Katie King each tallied 10. Whipple, Warburton and Sawyer each had nine rebounds.

Neither team was able to pull away in the hard-fought, physical contest. The score was tied nine times and the lead changed 14 teams throughout the course of the game.

Down three points with 17 seconds left, 58-55, Warburton’s three-point attempt missed its mark and Tiffanie Shives hit two free throws in the final seconds to seal the win for Gonzaga.

Turnovers continued to plague the Utes, with 26 to the Zag’s 16. The majority of Utah’s turnovers were traveling calls.

“We’re in games against extremely good teams and we are far from what I believe will be our best ball,” head coach Elaine Elliott said. “That’s our focus right now, is hanging in there and trying to eek one out. We’re not keeping the ball well. We certainly expect to improve in that area. We’re looking forward and making sure that we’re getting better.”

Although Gonzaga held as much as a six-point lead in the first half, 15-8 with nine minutes left, Utah took a 20-17 lead at the five minute mark with a 12-2 run. Warburton and Whipple each scored five points during the surge for the Utes.

Utah overcame a 17-point second-half deficit to defeat Marquette, 79-76 in the final game of the WBCA Classic.

Kalee Whipple tied her career high with a game-high 30 points for the Utes (2-4). The most important were a pair of free throws that put her team in front for good at 75-73 with 2:25 remaining.

With Marquette trailing 77-76, Marquette’s Georgie Jones missed a pair of free throws with 6.3 seconds left that could have tied or won the game, and Utah hung on for the victory.

The Utes snapped a four-game slide with the win.

“That’s always a mental challenge,” head coach Elaine Elliott said of ending a losing streak. “I’m obviously very proud of the effort in the second half. It was significantly better and it was nice to see.”

Utah trailed 48-33 at the half and were down 51-33 early in the second period before starting their comeback, which saw them tie or lead the game several times.

The Utes first tied the game with just over eight minutes remaining.

Utah, which went 1-2 in the tournament, got 19 points from Morgan Warburton and 14 from Katie King.

Utah (RV/NR) Gonzaga (RV/RV) Nov. 29, 2008 - Milwaukee, Wis.

The Utah women’s basketball team dropped its first game of the WBCA Classic, 65-57 to No. 16/15 Virginia.

The Utes (1-3) lost their third straight game. They were led by Morgan Warburton with 18 points and Katie King and Kalee Whipple with 10 each.

Whitney Edwards scored 15 points, Britnee Miller 13 and Aisha Mohammed 11 to pace the Cavaliers.

Although Virginia seemed to be a heavy favorite, the Utes made it a close game early by playing tough.

“It was a very physical game,” Virginia head coach Debbie Ryan admitted.

The physical style allowed the Utes to hang with the Cavaliers for most of the first half.

Miller said the Utes played so hard that they disrupted the normally fluid Cavalier offense.

The Cavaliers scored the last six points of the period on 3-pointers by Whitney and Ariana Moorer for a 28-22 halftime advantage and then ran off the first 10 points of the second half to grab a commanding 38-22 lead.

“It got to us a bit,” head coach Elaine Elliott said of Virginia’s run. “But it sparked our comeback.”

The Utes narrowed the Cavalier lead to four points with 26 seconds left at 59-55 on a shot by Warburton.

But Virginia free throws and defensive stops down the stretch sewed up the win.

The Utah women’s basketball team returned from a layoff of over a week to defeat local NAIA team Westminster, 69-49.

The Utes were led by Morgan Warburton’s 23 points while Kalee Whipple had 21. Halie Sawyer had her first career double-double with 11 points and a career-best 11 rebounds. Her four steals and four blocked shots were also career-highs. Katie King was also in double figure scoring with 14 points.

The Griffins were held well below their season average of over 85 points per game.

Utah took a 12-0 lead before Westminster got on the board and held as much as a 23-point lead in the first half. The Utes held the Griffins to 19.2% (5-of-26) shooting from the floor in the half. Whipple led Utah with 12 points as the Utes were up 38-16 at halftime.

The second half was a different story, as Westminster outscored Utah in the half, 33-31. The Griffins held an 18-11 edge in rebounding with a 14-11 margin in turnovers.

Alexis Tucker led Westminster in scoring with 12 points.

Dec. 19, 2008 - Ogden, Utah

A solid second half powered the Utah women’s basketball team to a victory over Santa Clara, 73-53.

Morgan Warburton led Utah (4-4) with 20 points, 16 of which came in the first half. Kalee Whipple had 17 points with a team-high four steals. Katie King was also in double figures with 12 points, including going 10-for10 from the free throw line. Halie Sawyer led the Utes with 11 rebounds and also had seven points.

Up 33-26 at halftime, the Utes opened the second half with a 24-9 run over the first 10 minutes to take a 22-point lead, 57-35, and held that through the remainder of the contest.

Each team had its hot streaks in the first half. Santa Clara (1-9) led by six, 12-6, at the 13:53 mark before the Utes went on an 18-2 run, led by nine points from Warburton, to take a 10-point lead with just under seven minutes left. However, the Broncos would rally to score the next 10 points, which included three-point baskets from Rhianna Faithfull and Elizabeth Doran to tie the game at 24-24 with four minutes remaining.

Utah surged at the end of the first half with a 9-2 run, which included a layup at the buzzer from Sawyer, to take a 33-26 lead at halftime.

Freshman Janita Badon had the best game of her young Utah career, posting nine points with three assists and a steal. Hannah Stephens scored five points with two assists and two steals.

The Utah women’s basketball team dropped a heartbreaker to Weber State on Friday evening, 65-63.

The two teams traded the lead back-and-forth for the entire second half, with neither team holding more than a four-point lead. Weber State appeared to have the game locked up in the final minute, taking a 62-60 lead with a lay-up from Joey O’Neill with 1:14 remaining and stretching the lead to 63-60 with fifteen seconds remaining on a free-throw from Tonya Schnibbe.

Schnibbe missed her second free throw, and Halie Sawyer pulled down the rebound, getting the ball down the court to an open Morgan Warburton, who sunk a 3-point basket to tie the game, 63-63 with 10 seconds remaining.

Although Utah got the ball back on a Warburton steal, Schnibbe stole the ball with five seconds left before Katie King fouled Sarah Conner to stop the clock. Conner hit both her free throws with a second remaining, giving the Wildcats a 65-63 lead and sealing the Utes fate.

Warburton led Utah with 24 points, while King had a double-double with a career-high 18 points and a teamhigh 10 rebounds.

The Utes out-rebounded Weber State, 39-24, but turnovers continued to plague the Utes, committing 17 to the Wildcats eight. Weber converted those turnovers into 24 points. The Utes also has 15 fouls, compared to seven for Weber State.

Kalee Whipple became Utah’s 21st 1,000-point scorer as the Utes executed a late second-half rally to defeat Oregon, 63-49.

Whipple scored 14 of her 15 points in the first half.

She has 1,003 points for her career. Morgan Warburton led Utah with 19 points - all of which were scored in the second half - while Katie King had her second doubledouble of the year, scoring 12 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. Halie Sawyer led the Utes in rebounding with a career-high 14.

With the game tied, 47-47 with just over six minutes remaining, Utah closed out the game with a 16-2 run to take the lead and the victory. Warburton had 11 of those points (seven from the charity stripe) and also pulled down two rebounds in the Utes’ surge.

Although Utah held as much as a 12-point lead in the first half, Oregon came back in the second half with an 18-7 run through the first eight minutes to tie the game, 37-37.

The Utes held the edge in rebounds, 40-26, and had 11 steals.

Whipple and Warburton (1,491 points) are the only two current players in the Mountain West Conference to have reached the 1,000-point mark.

The Ducks were led by Jasmin Holliday, who had 10 points, six rebounds and six steals. Taylor Lilley was also in double figure scoring with 10 points.

Kalee Whipple and Morgan Warburton combined for 58 points as the Utah women’s basketball team defeated Southern California, 87-77.

Whipple scored a career-best 31 points before fouling out in the final minute, while Warburton also had a career-high with 27 points, including a team-best nine rebounds. Warburton was 16-of-16 from the charity stripe.

The hard-fought game saw 13 lead changes and nine ties. The momentum began to swing Utah’s way late in the second half. With the score tied at 62-62 with eight minutes remaining, the Utes went on a 9-0 run to pull ahead, 71-63 with 5:32 left in the game. It was a lead that they would not relinquish.

Although USC would come within three points in the final stretch of the game, free-throw shooting enabled Utah to pull ahead late. The final key run came with under two minutes remaining. Up 75-72, Warburton, Whipple and Hannah Stephens each made a pair of free-throws from the line to take a nine-point lead they would not relinquish, as the two teams traded free-throws down the stretch.

Points from the charity stripe were a large factor for both teams, as Utah was 34-of-37 from the line and the Trojans were 28-of-34.

Utah is 2-0 against Pac-10 teams this year, including a 63-49 win over Oregon.

2008-09 REVIEW

A valiant second-half effort cut a 21-point deficit to just four points before the Utah women’s basketball team fell to Mississippi State, 63-51.

Although the game was back-and-forth early, a five-minute Utah scoring drought in the middle of the first half allowed Mississippi State to pull ahead to a 14-point lead, 25-11 with just under seven minutes remaining. The Bulldogs would have as much as a 21-point lead in the first half before holding a 37-18 advantage at halftime.

Utah chipped away at the deficit throughout the second half. Down 54-40 with seven minutes remaining, the Utes went on an 11-1 run to cut the lead to four with 2:30 left, 55-51. Morgan Warburton had seven points of that run, including three free-throws.

The Utes had costly mistakes down the stretch to shift the momentum Mississippi State’s way, as the Bulldogs ended the game on an 8-0 run.

Utah outscored Mississippi State in the second half, 33-26. The Bulldogs had come into the game defeating teams by an average of 30 points.

Warburton was Utah’s leading scorer with 23 points, despite missing several minutes after tweaking her ankle in the first half. Kalee Whipple was also in double figures with 12 points. Halie Sawyer continued to provide a strong rebounding presence with 10 rebounds. It is the third time in the last four games she has been in double digit rebounds.

Game 15

Utah Wyoming

70 52

Jan. 7, 2009 - Laramie, Wyo. Kalee Whipple set a new career-high with 32 points to lead Utah to a 70-52 victory over Wyoming in the Mountain West Conference opener for both teams on Wednesday evening.

The reigning MWC Player of the Week, Whipple broke her career-high for the second time in three games. She also pulled down 10 rebounds for her first double-double of the year.

Wyoming (8-6, 0-1 MWC) kept it close through most of the first half. Up 15-13 with seven minutes remaining in the first half, Utah (8-6, 1-0 MWC) went on a 9-0 run through the next three minutes (with five of those points coming from Whipple) to take a 24-13 lead at the four-minute mark. The run proved to be the difference as Utah ended the half with a 31-18 lead.

Whipple led Utah with 13 points in the half, while Warburton (who sat out several minutes after picking up two early fouls) had 10 points. Wyoming was held to 22-percent shooting from the field in the half (7-of-31) and Utah outrebounded the Cowgirls, 31-17, led by eight boards from Sawyer.

A similar 9-0 scoring run midway through the second half also helped Utah gain momentum through the remainder of the game. Up 44-32 at the 12:45 mark, Whipple had five points of the run as Utah took a 53-32 lead with 10 minutes left. Utah shot 60-percent (15-of-25) from the field in the second half.

Utah had a season-low 12 turnovers on the night.

Behind a pair of double-doubles from Halie Sawyer and Katie King, the Utah defeated a tough San Diego State squad, 58-52, in the Utes Mountain West Conference home opener.

King led Utah with 16 points and 13 rebounds for her third double-double this year. Sawyer had her second double-double of the season with 12 points and a career-high 15 rebounds.

Things looked dicey for the Utes in the early minutes, as San Diego State jumped out to a 9-2 lead. After Utah called a timeout to regroup, it quickly went on a nine point run of its own to take an 11-9 lead at the 14:30 mark in the first half.

The momentum began to swing Utah’s way late in the first half. Tied 21-21 with five minutes remaining, the Utes closed out the half on a 12-2 run to hold a 33-23 lead at halftime. Badon had four points of the run for Utah.

San Diego State made a valiant comeback in the second half, cutting the lead to two. With Utah up by 12 (39-27) with 17 minutes left in the half, the Aztecs surged for 10 straight points to cut the Utes lead to 39-37 with 13 minutes left. However, a Kalee Whipple jumper quickly sparked an eight-point run for the Utes, and they regained their 10-point lead, 47-47, with 11 minutes left.

Free throws and solid defense held off San Diego State in the final minutes. The Aztecs came within four points with 16 seconds remaining after a Jerica Williams three-pointer, but Warburton sunk two free-throws with two seconds left to put the game out of reach.

Utah out-rebounded San Diego State 48-24.

Feb. 1, 2009 - Albuquerque, N.M. Utah overcame a six-point deficit with less than two minutes remaining to defeat New Mexico, 53-50, and remain undefeated in the Mountain West Conference and solidify their hold on first-place.

Down six, 48-42, after Amanda Adamson hit two free-throws with 2:13 left, Katie King completed a threepoint play after being fouled on a layup and making the subsequent free-throw to cut the lead to three. Although New Mexico’s Amy Beggin hit a layup at the other end of the floor to bring the lead back up to five (50-45), it was all Utah in the final minute of the game.

King began the rally with a jumper with 55 seconds left. Morgan Warburton caused a turnover with a big heads-up play to get the ball back and Kalee Whipple tied the game with a three-point basket with 37 seconds left. After Beggin missed a jumper for UNM, Warburton pulled down the rebound and on the other end of the floor, hit a flying three-point basket with six seconds left to give Utah the lead.

King blocked Angela Hartill’s desperation threepointer at the end of the game.

Down 27-21 at halftime, Utah opened the second half strong and chipped away at the Lobo lead. The Utes took their first lead of the half, 40-39, with 6:22 remaining on a King layup after outscoring New Mexico 19-12 through that point with six points from Warburton and four from Whipple. However, the Lobos came back to score the next six points to retake the lead, 46-40, with 4:11 left before Utah’s final run for the win.

Head coach Elaine Elliott earned her 550th win in the contest.

Feb. 14, 2009 - Colorado Springs, Colo.

Despite coming back from several double-digit deficits, the Utah women’s basketball team fell to San Diego State, 55-49, at Cox Arena on Wednesday evening.

With the loss, Utah snapped a 12-game winning streak and a record 25-game regular season Mountain West Conference winning streak.

Down by 13 points, 30-17, in the first half, the Utes held SDSU (17-5, 8-2 MWC) scoreless through the final four and a half minutes to cut the deficit to two at halftime, 30-28, an 11-0 run. Morgan Warburton had five points of the run while Halie Sawyer hit two baskets for four points.

In the second half, after Kalee Whipple hit a threepoint basket with 11:41 left to cut the deficit to three, 4239, before San Diego State went on a 10-0 run to regain the lead. The Aztecs would pull away by as many as 11 points before winning by a final score of 55-49.

The day started off a little rough as an electrical problem at Clune Arena forced the game to be delayed and moved to the USAFA Preparatory School gymnasium.

Both teams started off slow, with the Utes up just 5-0 five minutes into the game. With Utah down by two points, 11-9, with 11 minutes left in the first half, Whipple started a 12-0 run with a layup to pull the Utes ahead, 21-11.

Poor shooting late in the game doomed Utah against UNLV, as the Utes lost just their second conference game of the season, 68-55 to the Rebels on Wednesday, Feb. 25, in Las Vegas.

Down 46-40 with 7:52 left, UNLV’s Jamie Smith started a 20-2 run with a layup and ended with a 58-48 lead with 1:50 remaining in the game. Foul shooting down the stretch helped UNLV pull away in the final minutes.

Foul trouble also hurt Utah, with Morgan Warburton, Kalee Whipple and Hannah Stephens each playing several minutes with four fouls and fouling out by the end of the game.

The Utes shot 32.6-percent (18-of-55) in the contest, their lowest shooting percentage of the year. It was also just the fourth time this year that Utah was outrebounded, 38-32.

With the score tied at halftime, 27-27, the Utes opened the second half on an 11-2 run over the first 5:30 of the half to take a 38-29 lead. Warburton had four points of that run to lead Utah.

UNLV continued to fight, and although Utah pulled out to leads of as many as eight points, the Rebels kept the game within three before tying it at 48-48 with five minutes remaining and taking the lead for the first time in the second half, 50-48, shortly after.

Warburton led Utah with 21 points while Katie King was also in double figures with 12 points. Halie Sawyer had a team-high six rebounds in the contest.

Behind Katie King’s sixth double-double of the season, the Utah engineered a comeback 59-54 victory over Brigham Young on Saturday, Feb. 28, in the Huntsman Center.

King had 17 points and a career-high 16 rebounds.

Morgan Warburton led Utah with 18 points while Kalee Whipple tallied 15.

Utah struggled in the opening minutes, going down by 13 points early, 21-8. However, the Utes rallied to close out the first half on a 22-8 run over the final eight minutes to take a 30-29 halftime lead. King led the Utes with 10 points in the half, while Warburton had nine, with most of those points coming during the comeback drive.

Although Utah held as much as an eight-point lead in the second half, the score was tied four times and the lead changed four times. With the score tied with six minutes remaining, 49-49, the Utes went on a 5-0 run to take a lead they would not relinquish on the heels of a freethrow from Warburton and four points (a basket and two free-throws) from Whipple to go up, 54-49.

With 2:30 remaining and the Utes up 56-51, BYU’s Coriann Wood hit a three-point basket to pull the game within two before King made her first three-point shot of the season on the other end to keep the lead at five, 59-54, with 1:59 left. The defenses took control down the stretch, as neither team made another basket.

Whipple had a team-high 12 points in the second half for the Utes.

March 13, 2009 - Las Vegas, Nev.

Morgan Warburton broke Utah’s career free-throw record as the Utes fell to TCU in the final game of the season, 53-47.

With Utah up 28-25 at halftime, TCU began the second half on an 8-2 run over the first three minutes of the half to take a 33-30 lead. The Utes called a time out, and the game was a back-and-fourth affair for most of the half.

The Horned Frogs began to take control with just over five minutes remaining. Holding a 42-41 lead, an 8-2 run gave TCU a seven-point lead, 50-43. Although the Utes would cut the lead to three in the final three minutes, the team was unable to come any closer as the clock ticked down.

The Utes had their lowest shooting percentage of the season, 28.6-percent. Warburton, Kalee Whipple and Janita Badon all played several minutes in the second half with four fouls.

Warburton went 4-for-4 from the free-throw line, giving her a school-record 413 career free-throws. The old record of 410 was set by Shona Thorburn from 2002-06.

Although the Utes held as much as a 13-point lead in the first half, 25-12 with seven minutes remaining, Utah struggled from the field the remainder of half allowing TCU to go on a 13-1 run through the final minute of the half, cutting the lead to one, 26-25. Helena Sverrisdottir had two three-point buckets of the drive for six points to lead TCU. Badon’s bucket with four seconds left put the Utes halftime lead at 28-25. Whipple led Utah with eight points in the first half. Warburton played just 11 minutes after picking up two fouls.

Morgan Warburton’s bucket with four seconds remaining completed a 16-point comeback for No. 1 seeded Utah, giving the Utes a 56-55 victory over New Mexico.

Down 16 points, 36-20, Utah slowly chipped away at New Mexico’s lead over the next 10 minutes. The turning point came with the Utes down 14 points, 46-32, with 10:30 remaining. Josi McDermott started the 19-2 run with a three-pointer - one of two treys she would hit during the run for six points. Utah also got a three-pointer from Sasha McKinnon. Warburton tied the game, 48-48, on a jumper with six minutes left. McKinnon would give Utah its first lead of the game on her second threepointer, 51-48 with 4:30 left. The Utes held New Mexico scoreless from the field (0-for-8) during the run. Both of the Lobos points came off free throws.

Both teams struggled on offense in a wild final minutes. Missed free throws from both teams had a significant effect on the final outcome.

With Utah up by two, 54-52 after a Kalee Whipple layup, Sara Halasz cut the lead to one with a free-throw, while missing the second. Hartill also missed a freethrow as the clock wound down, while Whipple would miss a pair from the charity stripe for Utah.

Hartill put the Lobos back on top with a layup, 5554, with 37 seconds remaining.

Warburton missed a jumper at the other end of the floor and Utah turned the ball over in the fight for possession after Katie King pulled down the rebound.

It seemed that New Mexico had the game in hand after Utah fouled Amy Beggin. Beggin missed both of her chances to keep Utah’s chances alive.

Utah TCU March 7, 2009 - Fort Worth, Texas

Utah clinched a share of the Mountain West Conference regular-season title with a 57-54 victory over New Mexico on Wednesday, March 4.

Down 28-23 with 5:05 remaining, Utah closed out the first half on an 11-2 run to take a 34-30 lead going into the locker room. Morgan Warburton had 11 points of the half - including seven in the final drive of the half.

Frantic back-and-forth scoring in the final five minutes of the half kept New Mexico close down the stretch, although the Utes held a slight overall advantage.

With a minute remaining, UNM’s Amanda Best cut the score to a point, 55-54, with a layup. Utah’s Janita Badon had a shot blocked on the other end of the floor, and the Lobos called a timeout when they got the ball back. Amy Beggin missed her three-point basket with 11 seconds remaining, and Badon got the rebound and was immediately fouled. She hit both of her free throws with nine seconds on the clock to put the Utah advantage back up to three, 57-54. Beggin, who was heavily guarded in the final seconds, hurled a desperation threepointer at the buzzer that was wide of its mark.

Warburton was also strong in the final five minutes, scoring seven points of Utah’s final 11 points in the game. Kalee Whipple also scored two points in the final minutes.

March 24, 2009 - College Park, Md.

Sent clear across the country to play in the NCAA tournament, Kalee Whipple and Utah figured they might as well extend their stay.

Whipple contributed 15 points and eight rebounds, all the while playing tough defense on Villanova star Laura Kurz, and the Utes overwhelmed the poor-shooting Wildcats 60-30 Sunday in a first-round game of the Raleigh Regional.

Morgan Warburton - like Kurz, a finalist for the Naismith Trophy as national player of the year - scored 14 for ninth-seeded Utah (23-9).

Utah held Villanova without a point for about 4 minutes at the start, then almost 5 minutes to close the first half. When Villanova missed its first 10 shots to open the second half, Utah pulled away.

Villanova shot 11-for-58 (19 percent) for the game and 4-for-30 (13 percent) during the second half.

Utah scored the game’s first 10 points en route to a 26-16 halftime lead. In the second half, that gap quickly widened.

When Whipple hit a 3 to put Utah ahead 21-14, she wheeled and let out a yell. Then she got right back to work at the defensive end, holding off the bigger Kurz on the low post.

Moments later, with Kurz on the sideline with two fouls, Whipple blocked Lisa Karcic’s shot at one end, then assisted on King’s layup at the other.

Utah closed out its run in the NCAA tournament with a 71-56 loss to Maryland on its home floor.

The Utes (23-10) had to play in an arena where Maryland had won 35 straight and before 10,065 fans.

Kalee Whipple scored 24 and Morgan Warburton had 17 for No. 9 seed Utah (23-10). The Utes, who advanced with a 60-30 rout of Villanova, couldn’t come up with a similar defensive performance against the more talented Terrapins.

Maryland won the rebounding battle 54-24; the Utes had been outrebounded in only five games all season and ranked 12th in the country in rebound margin.

“It’s just pure and simple--their strength over us was just their physicality. We couldn’t change that. We couldn’t grow bigger. We couldn’t grow heavier,” Utah head coach Elaine Elliott said. “That was the difference in the two teams. We would have preferred that it wasn’t a home game. ... (But) the differences in that game were apparent and that was something we wouldn’t have overcome no matter where we played.”

Although Maryland trailed by seven with just over 5 minutes elapsed, the Terrapins bounced back to go up 44-28 at the break.

Utah got the early jump, getting points from four different players and using 6-for-9 shooting to take a 15-8 lead. However, a 14-3 run by Maryland put the Terps up 22-18.

Utah Villanova March 22, 2009 - College Park, Md.

Although Elaine Elliott has coached a bevy of remarkable scorers during her 26 seasons at Utah, not many could ever match the dramatic flair of Morgan Warburton.

The smooth-shooting senior concocted one big finish after another during the Utes’ run to the Mountain West Conference’s regular-season and tournament titles -- and even San Diego State had to applaud her fantastic finale.

Warburton scored 24 points and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:57 left while dominating the final minutes, leading top-seeded Utah past the stunned Aztecs for a 63-58 victory Saturday.

Kalee Whipple scored all 21 of her points in the second half for the Utes (22-9), who trailed throughout the second half until scoring 11 consecutive points in a blistering 3 1/2-minute stretch.

Warburton, the Mountain West player of the year and tournament MVP, scored nine of those points and assisted on Whipple’s layup for the other two.

After playing quietly through much of the second half, Warburton got most of her points at the free throw line, where she went 14-for-14. Warburton’s 3-pointer was her only field goal of the second half, but her drives to the hoop repeatedly drew fouls from San Diego State’s defense or created shots for her teammates.

Whipple went 6-for-9 from the field with a 3-pointer and added eight free throws in the second half. Her biggest score was a layup that barely beat the shot clock with 2:11 left, putting the Utes up 57-54.
