Wolverines take down Troy in home opener

UVU (2-2) 72 Troy (1-2) 51
It’s hard to believe Utah Valley trailed by 12 to start this game. Troy was hitting from deep for the first few minutes and didn’t connect on a a two-point field goal until the second half.
At first UV struggled to score, shooting mostly perimeter jumpers the first few minutes, but got a few easy buckets inside and took off from that point on. Troy is a zone team but once UV worked the offense inside and once guard Ryan Toolson started hitting from the three-point range Troy couldn’t keep up.
The Trojans didn’t have anything inside; even their big men were shooting threes all game.
Toolson led UV with 17 points and he didn’t attempt a shot inside the three-point line all game. Jordan Brady pitched in 10 points and 10 rebounds. Richard Troyer scored 14 also.
Troy made only three shots in the game that weren’t 3-pointers and shot 35 threes in the game.
Freshman Matt Komenda also played a nice game with 12 points off the bench for the Wolverines.
Up next for Utah Valley is Great Falls on Saturday at 2:05 p.m.

Ronnie Price was in attendance after he played the most minutes he’s played all season the night before against New Jersey as the back up point guard while Jason Hart was at a funeral. Price’s dunk was pretty nice too. He always likes to stick around for pictures and autographs.
