The pressure of being in Pac-12 is giving me angst as a fan. I feel like we should take be able to care of any WCC team, yet in this case we are talking about a surprisingly good TDS team in a hostile environment, so I’d definitely be nervous going with the Utes in this one, even with 6 points given.
However, maybe their finals are over, the the out-of-state students will be home for Christmas, and with the 9pm tip many of their married-with-children students and fans will stay home. Might take an edge off the home court advantage, though I still expect to see various detritus thrown on the court and/or refs should it be a tight game and a marginal call or two doesn’t go their way.
Need Collette to contain Childs without getting into early foul trouble. I would take Tillman over any of the zoobs one-on-one should this come down to a last shot.
