BOULDER — In a normal year under normal circumstances in the Pac-12, the Colorado Buffaloes would figure to hold a solid home court advantage Saturday when Utah pays a 4 p.m. visit to the CU Events Center.
But this has not been a normal year in the Pac-12. Nothing in the conference is holding to form — witness Thursday night's Cal upset of 25th-ranked Washington. The Bears had lost 23 straight Pac-12 games, including all 15 this season, while the Huskies entered the game with a sparkling 13-1 conference mark.
