Utah -2.0. ESPN BPI has it at essentially a toss-up game, 48.2% OSU and 51.8% Utah.
I'll be watching the rebounding battle in particular tonight as I think that's the biggest weakness I've seen in this year's team so far. Hopefully we see some KK and Silva playing together to help with that since KK isn't and probable never will be a great rebounding 5 due to his shot blocking ability.
Would also like to continue to see more Gianni, Lucas, and SMM. I think all three of those guys will continue to contribute more if they continue to see the floor and would also help Ethan by allowing him to play off the ball more (which I thought we would've seen more of already this year).
Utah beat Kentucky on a neutral (but very pro UK) court earlier this year but also haven't played since getting thrashed by SDSU on 12/21. Let's hope we can jump on them early while they may be shaking off some holiday rust and make them play catch-up the rest of the way.

A MUST win very early on... on the road, but versus a team that hasn't played a game in two weeks.
0-2 roadie just not going to cut it

I will be happy with a split. But I think both games can be won.

I looked at Utah's roster... they are very young. Allen is clearly the player to watch/stop for them. I would anticipate that a young roster is going to have it's ups and downs. How do they adjust to some block shots or early misses. But if they come out hitting shots.... at home, we could be in trouble!

Next most important player is likely one of those youngsters — freshman Rylan Jones. Averages 11 ppg and 5 app, and shoots 47% from 3. They’re not real deep and basically play six or seven. Against KY, they played eight, but two of those played only 5 and 8 minutes respectively. And though Utah won that game, KY shot just 2 of 17 from 3. Hoping that KK has left all the missed easy shots back in the Wyoming game because he could have a big game as Utan struggles with interior D. Definitely a winnable game, and need the big 3 to come up big.

Not even 12 minutes has gone by, and Coach Tinkle burns his second timeout.

Utah can't miss from 3 and we can't seem to hit a thing even 2 feet away. 23-19 utah, beavs call their 2nd TO. Seen this show before.

Breaking news: we are not a good offensive team.

32-25 utah at the under 4. Two shots for them coming up after a foul call that should've been a travel.
Also utah is 5-6 from 3 while OSU is 1-10

Our poor offense is only surpassed by our even worse defense.

39-32 Utah at half
Don't know whether to fell good or frustrated that the Beavers are only down by 7 at half

Tres gets hacked back to back possessions and Utah hits a transition 3 to take a 7 point lead in to half.
All fairness, he had no business taking that 3 from 30 feet at the end of the half, but was still fouled.
