Even diehard fans of the Utah and Alcorn State men's basketball teams might need to keep rosters handy as their programs tip off the season Monday night in Salt Lake City. The host Runnin' Utes and the Braves from Lorman, Miss., both underwent wholesale changes since they last stepped on the hardwood in March for a real game. Utah's new-look team features nine newcomers, including seven transfers: Miro Little (Baylor), Ezra Ausar (East Carolina), Brady Smith (Salt Lake Community College), Keanu Dawes (Rice), Mike Sharavjamts (San Francisco), Zach Keller (Wake Forest) and Mason Madsen (Boston College). They are joined by two international freshmen, Joul Karram of Israel and Ibi Traore of Mali.
Plenty of new faces as Utah, Alcorn State begin season
