I hope it goes to double-overtime, then whichever team advances will be more tired. What I don’t like about facing WSU would be the hit to the RPI in the event the Utes win two and don’t win the tournament. In either case I don’t think the Utes winning one in Vegas is going to them in, they have to overcome their nemesis, USC.
I’d go with Oregon. At this point we need every possible advantage we can get. A loss to either guarantees we are out. A win over WSU probably is a non-factor. A win over Oregon might push us up a little.
Either way, it’s going to take at least 2 wins if they over Oregon and USC that might be enough for an at large. Might help if ASU/UCLA drop early to clear some room too.
