Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Cedar City in Utah for a matchup between the Thunderbirds of Southern Utah and the Dixie State Trailblazers. Dixie State is making their debut in Division I this season and will be in the WAC. Along with a non-D1 win against St. Katherine, DSU also has a home win against North Dakota and a 73-70 win at Denver in their most recent outing. Cameron Gooden led the Trailblazers with 23 points against the Pioneers.
Southern Utah opened their season with a road loss at Loyola Marymount, but they have since won four straight games. Along with a non-D1 win against the same aforementioned St. Katherine, the Thunderbirds won back-to-back games at home against Montana and beat Utah Valley on the road. Tevian Jones leads SUU with 18.8 points a game through the first five games.
