96-53 on Tuesday evening.Utah put the game away early in the first half with a
19-2 run that pushed the lead to 32-11. The Utes shot 51.4 percent in the first
20 minutes and improved their ball control from the first game with just three
first-half turnovers.We fixed a few things that were broken in our last game,
Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. Its just part of the process early on.With as
many new faces as we have, (Kyle Kuzma) and Lorenzo and some of those guys are
doing a pretty good job of expressing how important some of those (details) are.
We just need to trust the process. Its written in our practice facility to trust
a lot of things. Cant get too up and too down, but weve just got to keep making
improvements.Bonam bounced back from a horrific seven-turnover opener with just
one against Concordia. Kuzma finished with 13 points and eight rebounds and
Tyler Rawson added 12 points and eight rebounds. Parker Van Dyke scored a
career-high 15 to go along with five rebounds and four assists.Its been a long
time coming, said Van Dyke, who missed the last two seasons due to a Mormon
mission trip. Its almost been three years since my first game as a freshman. Its
good to be back and its good to make some shots tonight and play some good D. I
think tonight was just a good game for my confidence and prepared me for the
rest of the year.The Cavaliers were simply overmatched in every way. They didnt
have the athleticism to keep up physically and outrebounded 51-33. Concordia
werent skilled enough and shot just 32 percent from the field, including 5 for
17 from beyond the 3-point line.Christopher Edward scored a team-high 12 points
for the Cavaliers while Latrell Wilson chipped in nine points.When we come up
and play a Pac-12 team, its a great opportunity to test ourselves on a
significant road trip in a great environment, Concordia coach Brad Barbarick
said. Its a great experience for our kids playing on the Pac-12 Network. All of
those things are positives for our program in recruiting.Whenever we can get our
name out there in a game like this, it just helps us (with) name recognition and
the opportunity to establish ourselves a little bit more. Were new to D2. This
is our second year in the GNAC. We were NAIA for a long time. ... For us to step
up and play here at Utah, thats a great experience for our kids and its great
for our program.BIG PICTUREConcordia: Tuesday was all about experience for the
Division II program. The game is just an exhibition for the Cavaliers, who were
fighting an uphill battle from the opening tip.Utah: The Utes are still
developing into what type of team theyre going to be with just two significant
returners on the roster. The first four games are simply warmups that include
two Division II programs while Utah finds its identity.EASING INKrystkowiak
doesnt seem concerned about any strength of schedule issues due to opening the
season with a pair of Division II teams and Coppin State.With our team, there
needs to be a sense of confidence that youre gaining, Krystkowiak said. You dont
want to get pummeled. That can be pretty dangerous.You do what you thinks best
in the scheduling. And I thought in this particular year, things are going to
start amping up. ... Thats the key for us, to try to get firing on some more
cylinders and get prepared for league play.UP NEXTConcordia: The Cavaliers play

Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer underwent emergency eye surgery Wednesday
night and will not coach Thursdays game against the Dallas Cowboys.General
manager Rick Spielman said Thursday that Zimmer was having issues with his
vision Wednesday. The teams medical staff first evaluated him before eye
specialists then determined he would need the emergency surgery for a detached
retina or risk consequences as serious as potential blindness in the eye,
Spielman said.Zimmer told NBC before Thursdays game he has another follow-up
appointment scheduled for Friday morning. He said he could have to rest anywhere
from three days to two weeks, and might not be able to fly to the Vikings next
game in Jacksonville on Dec. 11. If Zimmer couldnt fly, he said theres a plan in
place to drive him to Jacksonville.We have to see how his eye responds to the
surgery, Spielman said. I do know how intense Coach Zimmer is. Talking with him
today and with the doctors, as much as he wants to be out there coaching
tonight, its in his best interest that we get this taking care of. Coach Zimmer
has never missed a game. I know how hard this is on him. I cant express how hard
on him it is that he wont be able to coach. But we have to look after his
health.Vikings speccial teams coach?Mike Priefer will be the interim head coach
against the Cowboys.dddddddddddd. George Edwards will resume his role as the
teams defensive coordinator, which will certainly see increased pressure given
Zimmers expertise in the area.Interim offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and
offensive line coach Tony Sparano have both been NFL head coaches, and Shurmur
assumed offensive playcalling duties when Norv Turner resigned Nov. 2, the same
day Zimmer first discussed his eye surgery.Zimmer had surgery to repair a torn
retina on his right eye Nov. 1, after he had scratched his eye during the
Vikings loss to the Chicago Bears on Oct. 31. Doctors had initially told Zimmer
he ran the risk of going blind in the eye if he did not have the first
surgery.He was back at work later that day but had a second procedure on his eye
Nov. 8. His eye appeared bloodshot during a news conference Nov. 9, as the coach
squinted against bright lights, but Zimmer said that day that his vision was
good.Asked that day if he had made any adjustments to his schedule because of
the operation, Zimmer said, No, its back to work, back to the grind. ' ' '
