SALT LAKE CITY -- Lorenzo Bonam scored 17 points as Utah eased past Concordia 96-53 on Tuesday evening.Utah put the game away early in the first half with a 19-2 run that pushed the lead to 32-11. The Utes shot 51.4 percent in the first 20 minutes and improved their ball control from the first game with just three first-half turnovers.We fixed a few things that were broken in our last game, Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. Its just part of the process early on.With as many new faces as we have, (Kyle Kuzma) and Lorenzo and some of those guys are doing a pretty good job of expressing how important some of those (details) are. We just need to trust the process. Its written in our practice facility to trust a lot of things. Cant get too up and too down, but weve just got to keep making improvements.Bonam bounced back from a horrific seven-turnover opener with just one against Concordia. Kuzma finished with 13 points and eight rebounds and Tyler Rawson added 12 points and eight rebounds. Parker Van Dyke scored a career-high 15 to go along with five rebounds and four assists.Its been a long time coming, said Van Dyke, who missed the last two seasons due to a Mormon mission trip. Its almost been three years since my first game as a freshman. Its good to be back and its good to make some shots tonight and play some good D. I think tonight was just a good game for my confidence and prepared me for the rest of the year.The Cavaliers were simply overmatched in every way. They didnt have the athleticism to keep up physically and outrebounded 51-33. Concordia werent skilled enough and shot just 32 percent from the field, including 5 for 17 from beyond the 3-point line.Christopher Edward scored a team-high 12 points for the Cavaliers while Latrell Wilson chipped in nine points.When we come up and play a Pac-12 team, its a great opportunity to test ourselves on a significant road trip in a great environment, Concordia coach Brad Barbarick said. Its a great experience for our kids playing on the Pac-12 Network. All of those things are positives for our program in recruiting.Whenever we can get our name out there in a game like this, it just helps us (with) name recognition and the opportunity to establish ourselves a little bit more. Were new to D2. This is our second year in the GNAC. We were NAIA for a long time. ... For us to step up and play here at Utah, thats a great experience for our kids and its great for our program.BIG PICTUREConcordia: Tuesday was all about experience for the Division II program. The game is just an exhibition for the Cavaliers, who were fighting an uphill battle from the opening tip.Utah: The Utes are still developing into what type of team theyre going to be with just two significant returners on the roster. The first four games are simply warmups that include two Division II programs while Utah finds its identity.EASING INKrystkowiak doesnt seem concerned about any strength of schedule issues due to opening the season with a pair of Division II teams and Coppin State.With our team, there needs to be a sense of confidence that youre gaining, Krystkowiak said. You dont want to get pummeled. That can be pretty dangerous.You do what you thinks best in the scheduling. And I thought in this particular year, things are going to start amping up. ... Thats the key for us, to try to get firing on some more cylinders and get prepared for league play.UP NEXTConcordia: The Cavaliers play California-San Diego Friday in the Doubletree Shootout.Utah: The Utes host Coppin State on Friday as they wrap up an opening stretch of with three games in six days.

For some, the F1 summer shutdown is an excuse to trade in those frequent flyer miles for a holiday in some far flung locale. For an ever-increasing number of the F1 circus, however, the summer shutdown has become the chance to have the ultimate stay-cation: multiple nights of sleeping in ones own bed.Usually, by the end of the season, pictures of pets and family members as iPhone wallpapers have been swapped for photos of the owners bed or sofa. Whats been unusual this year is the acceleration of the process. Not only was half the paddock beset by the traditional Suzuka cold as early as Monaco, but the mantra x-more-sleeps-till-Im-in-my-bed preceded the August break, not the November season finale.With only one more race to take into account, the 2016 season shouldnt be as punishing for paddock personnel as it has proven to be. But the logistics of the calendar itself -- the run of back-to-backs and awkward breaks between flyaways -- have contributed to a sense of mental and physical burnout far earlier than most of us are accustomed to.Rumour has it that one of the 2016 calendars biggest issues will be (marginally) less of a bugbear next year. Should the Canada-Azerbaijan back-to-back remain, the theory goes that Baku will precede Montreal. The journey between the two countries will be no less punishing, but if nothing else the jetlag should work in our favour, not against us.Despite the fact that we are now in the second half of the year, very little resembling a provisional calendar has started doing the rounds. Earlier chatter about forthcoming races in Argentina, Las Vegas, and Imola has gone rather quiet, and over the course of a single week in late June, Bernie Ecclestone was quoted as saying that the 2017 calendar would feature both 18 and 22 races.That level of uncertainty remains. Ecclestone himself raised questions about the future of the Brazilian Grand Prix in light of that countrys ongoing recession -- the worst in a century -- and corruption scandals plaguing the government, while Monza and Imola continue to duke it out for the right to the future of the Italian Grand Prix.ddddddddddddQuestions remain about Germany. In theory, the Nurburgring is still contracted to hold the event next year. In practice, thats not going to happen. In April a circuit spokesman said that the Nurburgring still hoped to host the race in 2017, but that costs and profitability needed to be taken into account. In other words, no.During the race weekend in Hockenheim rumours abounded about the Sachsenring as a future host of the German Grand Prix, but if there is any truth in the rumour it will not happen in time for 2017, as the circuit is not currently FIA homologated to the Grade I standard necessary to host a Formula One Grand Prix.Similarly, whatever mutterings there were about an imminent street race in Las Vegas should not be taken seriously with a view to 2017, if at all. Chatter about the Vegas race was at its peak during the spring, and died a death the instant Formula E announced the calendar for their third season -- a calendar that includes a virtual round in Las Vegas as part of the Consumer Electronics Show.Either way, Formula One needs Las Vegas more than Las Vegas needs F1, and it is beyond improbable that the city will grant permission for a grand prix to take place there in the immediate future. To run a real race down the Strip, long-term planning needs to include traffic rerouting schemes, access roads for emergency vehicles, and all manner of associated bureaucratic detail, and such work is not the work of a moment.Whether the 2017 calendar expands or retracts, the general wish in the paddock is that it gets assembled by someone who has experience of doing it all in economy class...
