I know Dana Altman’s Oregon teams are 22-2 against the Utes. I know they beat us by 10 in the Huntsman Center a few weeks ago. I know they have great athletes and play on the ugliest court in the NCAA.
But I like what I’ve seen of the Utes the last three games. Worster and Carlson have been great. Marco has been consistent and tough. If Madden can knock down a few 3s, I like our chances. In the wins over WSU, Washington and Oregon State, the Utes NEVER trailed. Three straight, comfortable-margin, wire-to-wire victories has me optimistic against the most inconsistent Oregon team Altman had ever fielded.
Am I crazy? Will the Ducks continue to dominate the series? I hope not.
