Marco Anthony - Plays well in defeat Anthony produced 13 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 77-73 2OT loss to Washington.
Impact Anthony broke a five game stretch of being held to single digits, scoring 13 points and coming up one board shy of what would've been his second double-double of the season. Despite consistent playing time during Utah's shuffling rotation, he's failed to step up as a reliable offensive option. Anthony is averaging 8.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game during conference action.

Branden Carlson - Bench role in return Carlson ended with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 71-54 loss to Washington State.
Impact Carlson was unable to play his usual 20-plus minutes in his return, which isn't particularly surprising considering the nature of his recent absences and the fac that he hasn't suited up since Jan. 6. He still managed to near double digits in the scoring column and added in some rebounds to give him a decent day overall. Carlson should retake his spot in the starting five soon.

Dusan Mahorcic - Gets another start Mahorcic ended with four points (2-3 FG), one rebound and one assist over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 71-54 loss to Washington State.
Impact Mahorcic started a second straight game in favor of Lahat Thioune but only logged 10 minutes as Utah gave significant playing time to their bench. The center has been an efficient rebounder for the Utes, averaging 11.3 rebounds per 40 minutes. With Branden Carlson healthy, Mahorcic will likely move back to the bench going forward.

Branden Carlson - Will play Wednesday Carlson (abdomen) will play in Wednesday's game against Washington State, Bill Riley of ESPN 700 reports.
Impact The center will be a much needed addition to the team's lineup, as Carlson has missed the past five game with a lingering abdomen injury. Carlson is currently posting 13.5 points and 6.4 rebounds in 13 starts for Utah this year.

Impact Carlson hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 6 but appears to be on the cusp of a return to action. Given the length of his absence, Carlson could return in a limited role initially once cleared but should retake his spot among the starting five once he's back at full strength.

Lahat Thioune - Moves to bench, production declines Thioune provided two points (1-3 FG), four rebounds and one steal in 10 minutes during Saturday's 79-67 loss to USC.
Impact Thioune had started four consecutive games, serving as the initial replacement for Branden Carlson while he's sidelined due to appendicitis. The Utes went in a different direction Saturday, however, giving Dustin Marhorcic the starting nod. The 6-10 senior has already been seeing more minutes than Thioune, and in this particular effort, Marhoric put up nine points, five rebounds and two assists despite a pretty difficult frontcourt matchup. Don't be surprised if Thioune continues to lose minutes to Marhoric, at least until Carlson returns and both see their minutes decrease.

David Jenkins - Playing time trending downward Jenkins accumulated zero points (0-1 FG) across three minutes during Saturday's 79-67 loss to USC.
Impact Jenkins has seen just five and three minutes over his past two games, recording zero combined points and rebounds over that span. This is a sudden downturn from the first 18 games of the season, over which the fourth-year guard put up 10.7 points across 23.2 minutes -- even starting the season's first nine games. it's unclear if there's an injury in play here that isn't being discussed, or if he's simply falling out of the rotation after shooting 29.2 percent from the field over his previous seven games. Whatever the case, it's going to be real tough for fantasy managers to consider rolling him out there given the stretch of recent performances.

Gabe Madsen - Career-high 20 points Madsen logged 20 points (6-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 79-67 loss to USC.
Impact Madsen dropped a career-high 20 points on the strength of five threes as the main source of offense with Utah only having one other player in double figures. He's been used as a three-point specialist where he's shooting 39 percent on the season. With the Utes struggling to their eighth consecutive loss, the sophomore could be in for a bigger role the rest of the season.
