If They Win, Utes Will Face UNLV in Semifinals
Spectacular finish to the quarterfinal game between UNLV and TCU, with the Rebels pulling off an 89-88 victory on a Wink Adams three-point play in the final four seconds.
The outcome means the Utes will face the Rebels -- 11-2 all-time in Mountain West tournament games on their home floor -- if they beat New Mexico tonight. That might not be all bad, considering the Utes beat the Rebels at home earlier this season, and the Rebels might not have the bench to survive in the tournament.
Feel bad for the Horned Frogs, though.
Coach Neil Dougherty's bunch hit 17 of 23 three-pointers, shot 54 percent -- 58 percent in the secnod half -- outrebounded the Rebels 30-19, and scored 50 points after halftime ... and lost. Of course, allowing the Rebs to shoot 68 percent in the second half had a lot to do with that.
