The Utes are back on the road in the Bay Area to take on Stanford and Cal, with the Cardinal being the first match up on Thursday night. The Utes will be looking to break a losing streak in Maples, not yet registering a win there since joining the league. Stanford isn’t a great team, but a team that can beat the Utes if they aren't locked in. The Utes are off to a strong start on the road in conference play this season, splitting the Arizona trip, and this is a trip where a split at minimum is expected, if not a sweep.

For the Utes, the recipe will remain the same, don’t turnover the ball and they’ll get good shots. Sedrick Barefield is on a tear, and I’d expect Donnie Tillman to have a big game too. For the Utes, the ultimate key is to win the turnover battle, and keep Stanford off the glass.

Here’s the scouting report per UtahUtes.com:
