Can't Accuse the Utes of Soft Scheduling Anymore
We already knew the Utes are going to have a heck of a home schedule next season, with Cal, Oregon and Gonzaga all making return trips to the Huntsman Center after the Utes played those teams on the road this season.
But coach Jim Boylen didn't stop there.
The Utes also have lined up a home-and-home series against Oklahoma starting next season, Boylen confirmed, and a home-and-home series against Michigan starting in 2010. The Utes will meet both teams on the road first, if I recall correctly, meaning the Sooners will visit in 2009-10 and the Wolverines will come in 2011-12.
So much for the good old days of Cardinal Stritch, eh?

Maybe he wants Washburn to have a chance to play at home in Michigan. I used to like how Rick would schedule something in SoCal for his players. And the Oklahoma game will be close to Cyphers (2-3 hours). It's nice for a guy to play close to home at least once during his career. Good move coach!
He wants the team tougher, they learn that by playing tougher teams.
