Earning National Respect for Defense?
Have to wonder whether the Utes are going to enjoy some good national publicity in the near future, for the defensive job they did on Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin last night.
A writer from Sports Illustrated attended the game as part of her research for a piece on Griffin, and noted with astonishment how the Utes seemed to be confounding the 6-foot-10 superstar and managed to all but take him out of the game.
Griffin scored a season-low 11 points in the 70-52 victory over the Utes, did not make a basket for the first time all season and acknowledged having to battle frustration at not getting more involved. Don't be surprised if the Utes get some high-profile credit for doing something no other team has been able to do, so far.
