The result of this game coupled with Colorado’s victory over Stanford actually makes the game between Utah and Stanford on Saturday technically meaningless as per the final conference standings/Pac-12 Tournament seeds. All that matters now is the result between Colorado and Cal. If Colorado wins (making Cal 10-8 in Pac-12 play), Utah would clinch the #4 seed because they would win the tiebreaker over Cal (via sweeping Colorado while Cal would have only split with the Buffs). Even if the Utes were to LOSE to Stanford (making Utah 10-8 in conference), they would STILL clinch the #4 seed with a Colorado win. Both Utah and Cal would be 10-8 in league play, but Utah would own the tiebreaker for the previously stated reasons. However, that being said, if Cal BEATS Colorado on Saturday, they would win the tiebreaker over Utah and clinch the #4 seed. Even if Utah were to then beat Stanford (and finish 11-7 in conference play), their losing of the tiebreaker would give Cal the advantage (the Bears would ALSO be 11-7 in Pac-12 play). Utah’s sweep over Colorado would be rendered irrelevant because Cal would have ALSO swept the Buffs. In that scenario, Cal would win the tiebreaker because they swept Oregon State while Utah would have only split with the Beavers.
