Utah might not have been able to stop Maryland's bigs either way, but at least Elliott would know she has to start recruiting some bigger women, instead of having to petition for another rule change.

The Utes are hoping to find assurance in their last two games before beginning Mountain West Conference play, as they take on Utah State and Utah Valley University in home matchups this week.

Most of the University of Utah campus was closed and evacuated on Tuesday after the rupture of a nearby natural gas line.

House Bill 347, which passed earlier this month and will eliminate compulsory private club memberships, is a good first step in this process. However, it cannot be counterbalanced with a bill that moves us two steps backward. H.B. 347 helps Utah look forward in the same way that SB 187 will serve to keep Utah looking into the past.
