After falling short of making the NCAA Tournament last year, Utah is going to be a very different team this season. They’ve lost three full-time starters; Guard Justin Bibbins was the team’s leading scorer with 14.8 ppg, Center David Collette contributed 12.3 ppg, and Forward Tyler Rawson had 10.9 ppg. Collette and Rawson were also two of the team’s best rebounders, and Bibbins led the team in assists.
Guard Sedrick Barefield is the team’s most important returning player. As a full-time starter last year, Barefield managed 12.0 ppg.
