Heading to Hinkle - Utah vs. Butler 2017
Our beloved Utes have their first true road test of the year as they head to storied Hinkle Field House to take on the Butler Bulldogs.
The Dawgs are 6-2 (4-0 at home) with wins over Princeton, Ohio St., and St. Louis most notably, and losses to Texas and Maryland.
The Utes come into the game 6-1 with our only loss being a "neutral" site loss to UNLV.
Butler has two guys that are currently averaging double figures (Kelan Martin, Kamar Balwdin) and three others that are close around 9 points per game.
They've got two bigs to throw at us (Brunk and Fowler), so if Collette can stay out of foul trouble, he could be a key to victory for us.
As usual, if we can avoid falling in love with missing a bunch of three's we might have a chance to get the road victory, though Butler is favored by 7.5. Should be interesting.
