Utes Expected to Have Easy Time With Wyoming
Coach Jim Boylen has been doing his best to make the Wyoming Cowboys sound like a tough opponent for his Utes tonight in the Huntsman Center.
But not even the folks in Wyoming are buying it.
"The reality is that it will be awful tough for the Cowboys to come away with a victory," the Laramie Daily Boomerang said.
The oddsmakers don't believe the Utes should have much problem beating the Pokes for the sixth straight time at home, either, making them a 14-point favorite tonight. The Utes have not been such overwhelming favorites since they were expected to beat Idaho State by 21 1/2 -- they wound up winning by 17 -- and are 5-4 as a favorite this season.
Heck, the far more intriguing game is the one pitting the Utah and Wyoming women's teams at the Arena-Auditorium in Laramie tonight.
The Utes are 16-3 overall and 5-0 in the league, while the Cowgirls are ranked 15th in the AP Top 25, 18-1 overall, riding a 16-game home winning streak, and 6-0 in the league. Now that's a match-up.
