It didn’t end the way Utah wanted it to end, but the Utes run came to an end after a loss to Penn State in the NIT Championship game on Thursday night. A season that was not filled with a lot of expectations came in a fun close with a great run over the last couple months of the season and into the post season, where Utah was once again the lone flag bearer for the Pac-12.
I had a bad feeling going into this game, because Penn State offered some matchup issues that Utah has struggled with, namely a lot of length.
