Not Utah’s best game, but faced a strong Zona team playing well in front of likely the toughest crowd the Utes will face all year. Go get the Devils in a few days Utes.
Too many turnovers and poor foul shooting cost us the game. Arizona was physical, and were called for fouls appropriately, until the technical foul on their coach. After that, the lady Utes we’re called for a foul every time they touched (and sometimes didn’t touch) an Arizona player. However, we would have won with fewer turnovers and our average foul shooting.
