Utes Enjoy Favorable NCAA Seed
Not to get all jinx-y about it, but the first thing that crossed my mind when the Utes were announced as a No. 5 seed playing Arizona in the first round of the NCAA Tournament was ... Sweet 16.

Certainly, the Utes were thrilled with the terrific seed, which allows them to play a team that most analysts figured was only 50/50 to reach the tournament field at all, after losing five of its last six games. And if the Utes get past that game -- which they should -- they will get either Wake Forest or Cleveland State.

Quite winnable, either way.

I agree. Utah is quite capable of winning or losing to Zona, Wake, or Cleveland St. Could be exciting!
