Utes Should Have Edge Against Santa Clara
Looks like the Utes can fairly expect to bounce back from their painful loss to Washington last week when Santa Clara visits the Huntsman Center on Monday night.
After all, the Broncos could not handle Nevada in their first real game after two embarrassingly easy opening games.
"We have to grow up and mature and count on guys," first-year coach Kerry Keating said.
The Broncos lost 67-54 to the Wolfpack, and committed 21 turnovers. They're a bit shorthanded, too, playing without 7-foot center Josh Higgins, a back-up who averaged 4.4 points last season but is out with a knee injury, and 6-9 freshman forward Andrew Zimmerman, who's battling a back problem.
That led to some fatigue among the remaining Broncos, Keating said -- the bench scored only five points -- which should give the Utes an edge if they can push the ball and run as much as they would like when the Broncos come to town. No line has been set yet, but one online oddsmaker gives the Utes the edge in every category.
