OREM, UT- The Utah Valley State men's basketball team hosts the University of Great Falls on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the McKay Center. The game can be heard live on 1400 KSTAR. Utah Valley is 2-1 and coming off a 60-47 loss at Pac 10 foe Cal-Berkeley on Wednesday.

This is the first ever meeting with Great Falls. Great Falls plays in the Frontier Conference and is 7-5.

"Great Falls has a terrific scorer in (Tyrone) Witherspoon and a shooter in (Rashaun) Puryear," Utah Valley State coach Dick Hunsaker said. "We'll have to concentrate defensively. They will bring terrific energy and emotion to the game."
