GaTech 45  Utah 42, midway through the second half
Women won their game earlier today, so lets get a daily sweep!   GO UTES!

Its on Pac-12 Network now.  Just ran across this game.  Utes lead 54-38 at half-time.  Apparently Utes have been shooting lights-out especially McQueen.  Showing some hustle.  Hope the men are watching.

Opens today!

#MississippiState was up 24-3, down 33-30 but hung on to beat Auburn.

Has Roscoe Mendenhall removed himself from the list of Nebraska coaching candidates yet?

Devin Lloyd was one of the defensive stars Sunday in the Jaguar’s shut-out win, and interviewed after the game…Devin Lloyd, “..opportunties are in the air…”
