Dr Pepper Classic Preview- Utah Valley vs. Hampton

This is not going to be an in-depth preview, but the player to watch for Utah Valley is Geddes Robinson. He is only 6-5, but he is averaging 10.9 points per game and 10.1 rebounds per game. The Wolverines will hope that he is able to contribute at that level. Isiah Williams is the  leading scorer, and averaged 14.5 points per game.

Darrion Pellum and his 17.6 points per game lead Hampton. But the player most Chattanooga fans will be focused on is Jasper Williams. Williams is averaging 7.8 points per game, and shooting 34.4% from three point range, along with 1.4 assists per game.

This should be a very compelling game. I believe that Utah Valley is the slight favorite to win the Dr Pepper Classic, but don't think that Hampton is too far off. This is a big tournament for the Pirates, as they look to right the ship as they go into MEAC play. I look for Utah Valley to come up with a close win, 68-65. This should be a very entertaining game. Hopefully some of Chattanooga shows up to watch this one.
