      They were actually the better team for 90% of the game. They played excellent defense, only allowing Oregon to score 17 in the first half. Oregon didn’t even lead in the game until very late in the 2nd half.

      In my opinion, Oregon’s full court press is the reason they won. They played full court for the majority of the 2nd half and it was really messing with the Cougs. If we can beat thier full court press tonight I like our chances.

      Another nice thing about playing Oregon is they have a better RPI.  A win against the Ducks (RPI 69) will reflect better on us than would a win against WaZoo (RPI 175).

        Utah is probably better prepared for Oregon, also.  Bibbins could give them fits.

        If Oregon tries to press, Utes need to go for the jugular and go right to rim each time they break the press.

          Agree. In years past they gave us fits, but this year they don’t.

            Utah has handled the press fairly well this season.
