The Pac-12 tournament is here - can the Utes do something?

Utah's long, windy road to the end of a dreadful season takes a detour to Los Angeles as they ready for their first-ever Pac-12 tournament.
No one anticipates they'll get out of the first round, let alone win the whole thing and punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament.
Still, without hope, what do we have? Not a damn thing. So, as I do every March, I'll blindly hope the Runnin' Utes somehow find enough magic to make a magical run. It's not going to happen and I think we all know that. But, at least it's March Madness, and, so I'm told, there is nothing quite like it.
So, what should we expect? Well, after this weekend's humiliating defeat to the Oregon Ducks, hopefully a respectable, competitive game. Which could happen, since the last time Utah played Colorado, late last month, the game was pretty close.
Of course, that was here in Salt Lake and, for whatever reason, the Utes piss the bed away from home more times than a seven year old. Though, to be fair, it's not like they've redeemed themselves at home, either.
Yeah, they're bad.
But it's March and this is the time for upsets and improbabilities.
Here's to that happening Wednesday night.

Actually,
I think the game against Colorado might be winnable if we find a way to mesh and make shots. After that, We’d have to beat Oregon, Cal, and Washington to win a tourney bid. No was in hell that’s possible, but one can always hope for our players to pull a Space Jam and somehow get the talent of a couple NBA players for the tourney.
meh
Not getting my hopes up, let’s just get blown out once more and put us out of our misery.

Biggest surprise of the season . . .
We’re not the last place seed in the tournament!
Hey, bright side, right?
If anyone found my snowboarding gloves after storming the field following the 2004 TDS game, I want them back!
I'm about 15 minutes away from Staples
I wonder if it’ll be a problem scalping a good ticket for the game.
Well, I haven’t seen a Ute basketball game live and in person since the early 90’s (at least), maybe it’s time to go.
Go Cuse. Go Utes. Go Kings (hockey version). Go Panthers (hockey version). Go Marlins. Go Dodgers. I despise the NFL and NBA, so don't bore me.
Do I get paid?
Maybe you’ll cover the cost of the scalped tickets?
I may have to get some extra sleep tonight, since UConn and SU are playing in the Big East tournament tomorrow. I may have to prepare for another 6OT game.
Go Cuse. Go Utes. Go Kings (hockey version). Go Panthers (hockey version). Go Marlins. Go Dodgers. I despise the NFL and NBA, so don't bore me.
Come on, Utes!

Okay, maybe I have ulterior motives for rooting for Utah, but still. Accept my fandom for the evening.

Man…what a long day of basketball it’s been…and there’s still one more game!
So the second chapter in the Utah-Colorado rivalry is unfolding.
Washington Huskies Pac-12 conference champions! Thanks, Stanford!
There Is No Utah-Colorado Rivalry....
…Except in skiing.
Oh come on, Utah fans
I know you’re out there…you showed up in great numbers for the final football game of the season, so what the hell?
Washington Huskies Pac-12 conference champions! Thanks, Stanford!
It's basketball...our team sucks...and it's midnight...
On a Wednesday. That’ll kill the mood faster than a fart.
Wow
This is obviously not Madison Square Garden with real basketball teams and 18,000 fans. The Pac-12 needs to move this out of our fair city to someplace more exciting. Kind of weird to watch this.
Go Cuse. Go Utes. Go Kings (hockey version). Go Panthers (hockey version). Go Marlins. Go Dodgers. I despise the NFL and NBA, so don't bore me.
can't happen
that’s where the WAC tournament is held.
GO AGGIES!
Washington Huskies Pac-12 conference champions! Thanks, Stanford!
And by that I mean NMSU, of course.
Washington Huskies Pac-12 conference champions! Thanks, Stanford!
