OGDEN — Stew Morrill was in the stands at the Dee Events Center Friday night to witness a very Stew Morrill-like battle between two of his former assistants.
In the season opener for both teams, Weber State managed to prevail over Utah State, 65-59, despite shooting just 42.3 percent from the field and knocking down just 6 of 22 3-point attempts.
“I’m really proud of our guys,” declared WSU head coach Randy Rahe, who spent 13 seasons as an assistant under Morrill at Colorado State and USU. “We played really played hard, and I thought we showed some really good toughness and togetherness — the things that we talk about all of the time.
