The Panthers were simply overmatched by Utahs size inside and athleticism on the perimeter.Zachary Hamilton led Prairie View (2-10) with 26 points.The most significant story of the game was the presence of power forward Collette and point guard Barefield.

No matter what you do, you cant get in that great of game condition until the popcorn starts popping.Two dynamic players. ... Dave, our own guys were bouncing off him at times. Hes a pretty solid rock inside. ... Sedrick gives you a little dynamic look. ... Captain Obvious, I would say they were pretty darn excited.The Utes (7-2) received an immediate boost in the paint from the 6-foot-10 Collette, who showed toughness and good touch offensively. The Utah State transfer dealt with foul trouble, but finished with 11 points and nine rebounds.Its been long enough, said Collette, who was named a captain. Ive been through this before. I was a little anxious, a little nervous. But once the game starts, it goes away. Its game-time.Im the oldest on the team. They call me gramps, theyre my grandkids. ... Ive been through and know what its like. So Ive got a little bit to offer, I think.Barefield came in off the bench and provided a much-needed additional shooter despite air-balling his first shot. The SMU transfer knocked down three 3-pointers in the first half and ended with 18 points.It was definitely worth the wait, Barefield said. By the way Dave was practicing, (you could tell) he was ready. I was a little anxious. Kind of overthinking things, so I kind of wasnt being myself in practice.I kind of compare it to roller-coaster going up. But once the ball goes up, its just basketball.BIG PICTUREPrairie View: The Panthers lost their seventh straight, including the last six on the road.
