The factoring process. Ken made a lot of mistakes the first half. In fact, of the 14 turnovers we had, he had six of them at halftime. And it was a matter that they took him the ball and he didn't take care of it. And the second half, of course, we took him the ball again and he took care of it, just put it where it belonged and did a good job. And as far as being too much conscious of it, no, because our zone offense against that tight 2 3, we attack it with him a lot. And if they're going to play that way, that's the guy that's going to do the job for us. Of course, in other situations, someone else will. This second half I felt like we got out and ran a little better, got up and down the floor so we didn't have to run against a set defense all the time. And Olen knocked in some jumpers and so did Chris and some of the other players already helped it. Now, our two inside players, Tim went 7 for 8 from the field and of course Kenny shot a really high percentage. In fact, the two of them together went 17 for 21 in the game. So, you know, with that statistic, I know we didn't go too much to him. Ken seemed to turn on, especially in that second was his first league game that he started in, the first time he's played in St. George in a game and that had a lot of pressure. His family, first time they'd watched him play in two years. So he has a little uptight for the game and he'll settle down as the year goes on. He'll be better and better and better. It wasn't too bad of a start last night. Tom Roberts, how's the flow? Well, Tom, you can ask him how he is and he'll just break his leg and say he's ready to go. But yet we spent some time with him during pregame meal and he at least has some color back in his face and hopefully he'll be able to play tonight. Some Chris McMullen, another out, outstanding defense tonight. And the offense is coming back. Sure is. It's been coming more and more and more and you know, we've had asked a lot of Chris. The people here in St. George, of course, watched him play it in high school where I think he had 36 or 37 points against Dixie High School one night and they expect that from him every night. They can remember when he played in the state finals where he picks up 27 points and just hit everything he shot. But yet on the other hand, you've got to look back to the fact that he is a freshman. There is a big transition. It's a different coach, it's different players, it's different talents you're playing against in different situations. And he's made that transition really well. Now, to be fair to Chris, you have to look at some of the other really good players we've had here. The problem Steve Conde had the first year I was coaching here until about halfway through the year, and then he really started to come alive. Craig Hammer and his problems, Ron Ince and his problems, every one of them have a hard time their freshman year, but yet the good ones about halfway through really come along. One prime example of that was Tim last year and John Bauckham last year. Yeah, Chris has hung in all the time and he's really been a good player from day one and now he's getting better and better and it's really going to make us a lot better team backcourt. Danny Tarkanian, another super night. Well, scoring wise, better than usual, assist wise, you know, it's hard to get assists against the zone. Another great night. I really felt comfortable with the way he played offensively and defensively with his father in the in the stands. That doesn't seem to bother him. Well, I think he's 18 years old. He's had him there for 18 years. And hey, I just got back from watching my son playing in the eighth grade game and he played really well. I was really proud of him. I hope just because your dad's there and he's a coach doesn't bother the way you play. I don't think it had any effect on Danny's game. He's an intense person who plays no matter what the situation is and really played well last night. I thought Olis Dockery really played well and I think Kevin Dolman is now to the stage where I really feel comfortable having Kevin on the floor and so does he. And that really makes it nice because it gives us four guards. Olis has now had two good shooting nights back to back. Yes, he has, and he's free and easy now and has a lot of confidence. We're going to start him again tonight and bring Eddie off the bench because not that Eddie doesn't deserve to start, it's just that I think he comes off the bench a little better than Olis and hopefully as the year goes on, we'll play all three of those guards about the same amount of time so they can all spend time on the floor and also get their breath once in a while. This looks like shades of the Heap Slocum Sleighmaker triumph a couple of years ago. Hey, if we have the same results, I sure hope so. Against College of Eastern Utah. This is a team that has the only losing record, really, on the total season in the icac. Yes. And they've played some pretty good people. They have played well at times. Evidently. They played really well last week when they beat Trade Tech at home. They beat him by six. Trade Tech's really playing quite well. So it's a team that hopefully will play better than we played last night, but yet one if we don't, we could lose. We have one ballplayer that is definitely a force. Dave Johnson, big, rugged forward. Yes, East High School does a good job. Good jump shooter, jumps pretty well. Not really quick, but adequate. And of course, we'll go with Lyles guarding him. It should be a pretty good matchup. What do you expect out of ceu? I expect them to sit in the zone as they usually do. I think that they'll probably stay a little patient with it and hopefully we can get out and put some pressure on the guards and make them hurry up what they're trying to do. I think one of the real key factors. Are we going to rebound? Well, three and all the conference season. Not bad. Sure be nice to be four. We'll wait and see how that. Coach Neil Roberts, thank you for being with us and good luck tonight. Thank you, Larry. We're talking with College of Eastern Utah Coach Kurt Jensen. Coach another ball club, another year. Dave Johnson is doing a good job for you. He's had a good season. Yes, he had some real fine games lately and has kind of carried us a little bit. And he needs a little help, though. You've had one of the tougher schedules of the ICAC team. We've had a good schedule this year and it's been a very strong test for us. We have been probably a little weaker than in the past, a little weak at center and had some problems, lost a guard out for the season with a broken finger and some other things. So it's been a struggle, to say the least. It's been a pretty good matchup, Dixie versus CEU over the last couple of years. A couple of ball players off last year's team. People are wondering what took place with it. What happened? Arthur Robinson, Kevin Miller. Arthur is playing in a school in Massachusetts, Lowe University in Boston. And see, Kevin Miller is playing in Illinois for a small NAIA school there and so they're both playing ball this year. Again, let's talk about your ball club this year. Some of the strengths that they've shown so far. Some of the strengths. Well, let's see. You almost got me there. We have been. It's been a good group to work with. They've worked hard and hustled and good attitudes and that sort of thing. We haven't always been successful in what we've been trying to do. I think maybe it's easier to talk. One of the problems is that we just have not been very consistent. We have played well at times in parts of games and some games, but we just have not had the consistency that you need to win a lot of ball games. Has the depth factor been a problem for you this year? Yes, that has been a definite factor and particularly at center and guard since we had the injuries at guard and lost a couple of guards earlier in the year and that's been a real problem for us and size is beginning to take its toll. Also, you pulled one of the big wins off against Utah Tech this year. Utah Tech must be playing well. Your ball club must have played well that night. Yes, that was our finest game of the year. We played a very super game that night. We shot well, we played well together and did an excellent job defensively and control has been playing very well and have a good ball club. So we were real pleased with that one and we played a full night, full ball game that night and it was made a difference. So, you know, you have to do that against Dixie. What do you expect tonight? Well, I expect the usual when we come to St. George. I expect them to play very well on their home court, to shoot very well and run and put the pressure on as they always have done when we played here. And I probably, I hope I'm disappointed, but they have been playing well this year and I saw them in Phoenix earlier and they have a well balanced team. I don't think they have quite the depth they've had in the past, but they play very well as a unit. Keith or your ball club tonight to be Dixon? Well, we have to play very well on defense and boards and on offense. We can't make mistakes. We've got to be very patient and score in order to stay in the ball game. And if we have any lapses, I think we'll be in trouble. Starting lineup for CEU tonight will be David Johnson at one of the inside spots, probably Scott Wallace at the other one. Gino Lucero, who played a lot last year for Us from Emory High School will be at a forward position and then point guard will be Burke Buckalew and the other guard will be Brett Bigley from Granger. You mentioned in the starting lineup, Scott Wallace, a young man from Clearfield High School. Now, he's got to be some relation to the Scott Wallace that played at Snow last year, hasn't he? Well, he said he's not very closely related, but maybe in the distant past somewhere. It's really strange. They both went to the same high school, same town, same names, but different players. Coach Kurt Jensen, thank you for being with us and good luck tonight. Thank you. The presentation of the national anthem just prior to this game. Dixie Now 9 and 8 on the season with a win last night. Dixie in the leadership of the ICAC with a 30 record. And as coach Neil Roberts said he'd like to make it four and oh, tonight that would be a pleasant, pleasant turn of events for Coach Roberts and company. That pretty well completes the pregame show and a look at the team. CEU and Dixie College. We'll be back with play by play action of this ICAC matchup after this. Can use that. And might I also add that it's brought to you by Bateman Pharmacy. That was one more on this Dixie College basketball broadcast tonight, the captains meeting at mid court with Gina Lucero and Dave Johnson for ceu. And for Dixie, Danny Tarkadian and Tim Fulmer meeting with the officials at mid court. Dixie trying to stretch their record to 4, 0 and keep a firm hold on that number one position in the ICAC. And that's going to be a challenge. College of Eastern Utah ready and prepared tonight. But one of the problems that Coach Jensen discussed was the injuries and loss of a couple of ballplayers. Starting center Todd Dykster had great problems and so is off the squad right now. He's only 6ft 5 though, and that might not have made that much difference. On the other hand, one young man who did make quite a bit of difference was Dale Olson who played three years ago for CEU High School All Stater out of bountiful High school. And Olson broke a bone in his hand and will be out or broke a finger and will be out for the rest of the year. Olson, an experienced young man, the leading assist man for College of Eastern Utah. One other factor in tonight's game, my parents are down from Salt Lake City and my mother, who is a basketball fan par excellence, is at the game. And since she's been attending Dixie College games every time she comes Dixie wins. We'll see if it holds again tonight, shall we? About ready to get underway? Dixie vs College of Eastern Utah set the starting lineup once again. Scott Wallace is 6 6, Dave Johnson at 6ft 7 and muscular. And Gino Lucero is 6ft 5. Up front in the backcourt is Burke Buckalew at 5ft 10, along with Brent Beagley, a 6 foot 3 inch freshman. And Beagley, smooth little ball player for Dixie in the backcourt.

And Bigley to sit down. Bigley playing a beautiful ball game so far. Doing quite a job. Roberts to shoot too. First shot is up and hangs and falls.

Not big enough for a girder. Just a guy wire and it's out of bounds to Dixie. Wallace looked like he was going to have that thing go straight up in the air and come back down. Guy wire may have interfered with that. Definitely interfered because Dixie got the basketball to the high post, to Roberts into the corner. It goes to McMullen. McMullen back to Roberts from 10. Shot up and good. Roberts about 10ft out. Make it 2417 and suddenly a seven point lead again. That's as close as Dixie has been since CEU ran off 12 unanswered points. In fact, 14 unanswered points at the angle. It goes to Gino Lucero. Lucero now turns around. Let's fly with the jump shot. No good. High for the rebound as Fulmer outlet pass to Tarkanian. Three on one fast break. Tarkanian goes to Benson with the layup foul. C. Eddie Manson. Let me double check. I think it's Newbold with a personal foul. But anyway, it's a chance for a three point play. Buckaloo back in. So is Bigley. The starting guards, Eddie Benson to shoot one try to complete the three point play. It's suddenly a five point lead by ceu. And Eddie Benson can cut that to four. And does Vincent with five Points. Lob pass into forecourt, goes to Buckalew. Three on two. Fast break at the angle to Lucero. Dixie back on defense now. Lucero wants the shot. Can't take it. Get it in deep to Johnson. Reaching in as Roberts. Roberts says, hey, I didn't foul him. And the official says, hey, you're shaking hands with him. So Roberts picks up personal foul number one. That's team foul number three on Dixie. There are six team fouls on ceu. Inbounds. Comes out in front to Brett Bigley. Long left handed, jump shot off to the left. Rebound brought down by Fulmer. Quick outlet pass to Tarkanian. And Dixie running three on three. Fast break.

Roberts basket will not count. The foul beforehand. And the foul will be on number 40, Scott Wallace. I believe that's number two on Wallace. Correction. Number three on Scott Wallace. Wallace in foul. Trouble. Getting off the bench is number 44, Carlson Boudreau, a 66 freshman. Boudreau, a young man from Sandy, Utah, believe he played at Jordan High last year. Roberts to shoot 1 and 1. First shot is up and good, and Roberts now 3 for 3 from the free throw line and five points. And Roberts still looking like he's suffering somewhat from the flu.
