The most hyped game to date this season for the Runnin' Utes came down to a desperation 3-point attempt by Tyler Kepkay. He missed, allowing Cal to exact revenge on last year's last-second loss to Utah.

If this team had even half the madness of Jim Boylen, it'd be taking it all the way to March.

Seven different Utes missed free throws en route to their 72-69 loss to the visiting California Golden Bears. Utah shot 20-for-31 from the charity stripe, an unimpressive 64.5 percent from the line.

Usually, playing sports adds to the stress of the already intense high school experience, but for Karolina Bartkowiak, sports were just the outlet she needed.

As the preseason comes to an end, the Red Rocks are firing on all cylinders. You can feel the energy inside the Dumke Gymnastics Center as the beginning of the regular season starts right after of Winter Break.

Although Westminster is close to the U in proximity, its women's basketball team could not have been farther from stealing a victory Tuesday when the Utes blew them away 69-49.

After losing to a 1-5 Idaho State squad, the 5-2 Utes look to rebound against the California Golden Bears, who are coming off a tough loss themselves.

The Sooners played Texas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in their conference, and Cincinnati and TCU out of conference. The only comparable teams the Gators faced were an overrated Georgia squad and Alabama.
