#3 Utah Utes vs. #11 Gonzaga Bulldogs, TBS, 5:40 PM Pacific (approximately), Midwest region, Denver: The Utah Utes got through their first matchup with Fresno State. It was a struggle for much of the game, as the Utes seemed to be slow to get into it and let the Bulldogs take a late second half lead. Then Utah closed it right and got the win in pretty comfortable fashion.
Up next is perennial NCAA Tournament menace Gonzaga, assuring that one West Coast team makes it better. Gonzaga went to the Elite 8 last season, and are very much a confident bunch trying to advance to the second weekend.
