With just five games left to play, the Utes head north for a big time test against the best team in the league (UW) and a much improved squad despite their 3-9 league record in Wazzu, with a presumably healty Robert Franks.
UW comes into this home stand knowing that a sweep and a loss by Oregon St. in LA would clinch a share of the regular season title with four games to play. Their last two games were a narrow win over WSU and a loss to ASU...could it be the Huskies are losing their focus? Probably not. We will have to shoot the ball well to keep ourselves in it, and have to knock it off with the mental mistakes (Sed, Both).
If we want a realistic chance at the bye in Vegas, the minimum that needs to happen is a split. If we somehow can top the Huskies and the Cougars, we will be in a very nice spot heading to Boulder.
