SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah basketball program was expected to have a mediocre season — not necessarily bad, but not necessarily as good as the previous two seasons. With turnover at nearly every roster spot, Utah was inexperienced enough and seemingly incapable of claiming a top spot in the Pac-12.
At 10-3 on the season, those preseason expectations may still become a reality, but after Utah’s 76-60 win over Colorado Sunday to start off conference play, a more positive outlook could be on the horizon.
The Utes picked up their sixth consecutive victory over the Buffaloes and looked like a team capable of making a run at any team in the conference, within reason.
