RTC Live: Utah State @ Utah
RTC Live makes its first trip to the pit (and we mean that in a good way) known as the Huntsman Center on the campus of the University of Utah tonight. The Utes are coming off a surprising home opener loss to Idaho last week, but Huntsman isn’t a place where many teams leave with a win. In-state rival Utah State has won 101 games in the last four seasons, and the battles between the two schools have been epic over that period. Three of the last four games came down to the last possession, and there’s no reason to believe this year’s tilt shall be any different. Jared Quayle and Tai Wesley represent the core that returns from a 30-win NCAA team for USU, while Utah returns three starters from an NCAA team but will rely heavily on a couple of talented freshmen as well this year. It should be a tremendous battle in the Beehive state tonight; we hope you’ll join us.
[...] Utah 68, Utah State 67. The Utes bounced back from their stunning home loss to Idaho for a tight one-point victory over a dangerous Utah State team, enacting a hint of revenge from their heartbreaker two-point falter to the Aggies a year ago. After exchanging free throws with Utah leading by three, three-point looks from Tyler Newbold and Jared Quayle went begging and a Kim Tillie free throw clinched the win for Utah.
