Utes Enjoy Help Around the League
While the Utes were obliterating Air Force last night -- and really, they could have won by 50 had they shot a little better themselves or kept the pedal down in the second half -- they enjoyed some surprisingly helpful results around the Mountain West.
Most notably, lowly Colorado State stunned championship favorite UNLV 71-69 to snap its 19-game losing streak on the road in the league, in advance of its trip to play the Utes at the Huntsman Center on Saturday.
"Losing's a bad habit, and it's really hard to break that habit, and it takes a lot more mental work than it does physical work," CSU coach Tim Miles said, "and that's why I was happy the guys were able to pull it out against a high-quality opponent."
Perhaps even better, the Wyoming Cowboys -- whom the Utes just beat last week -- cut down San Diego State 83-79 at home, after the Aztecs beat the Utes last weekend. It's early, but that's the kind of win that can make a huge difference for a bubble team like the Utes, coming down the stretch.
