Utah trailed Arizona State by 17 points barely 10 minutes into a Pac-12 opener in early January, and I was thinking this basketball season would be my punishment for getting to cover the compelling story of the the Utes’ 2018 football season.
Utah got better, and so did the story of its basketball season. As the Utes prepare for Thursday’s (9:40 p.m. MDT) quarterfinal game vs. Oregon in the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas, they’ve made this season interesting to witness — regardless of when and where it ends, including the possibility of that happening Thursday at T-Mobile Arena.
