SALT LAKE CITY — As Saturday’s Rivalry Game at the Marriott Center approaches, Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak revealed that he and former BYU player Nick Emery exchanged text messages during the summer.
“It was pretty cool,” said Krystkowiak, who explained that he received a random text message while spending time with his family at the friend’s ranch on the Fourth of July.
Krystkowiak said he wasn’t sure what to make of the text orginally. He added that he’s received a few text messages from a variety of people over the past 18 months since canceling Utah’s scheduled game at BYU in 2016 in the wake of Emery’s behavior when the teams played at the Huntsman Center.
