UTAH at COLORADO STATE...Now that self-doubting Utah could use some advice from Dr. Phil after recent 33-point blowout loss vs. Northwestern and home upset losses vs. heavy underdogs Albany & TCU, must support more-upbeat Colorado State bunch that swept this Mountain West series last season. Fundamental matchups also favor Rams, whose two 7-footers Jason Smith (16.7 ppg & 9.9 rpg) and Stuart Creason (11.8 ppg & 6.2 rpg) can certainly make life difficult for 7-1 Ute C Luke Nevill. And Utah lacks the smooth playmaker (F Shaun Green leads team in assists with only 2.4 pg) to consistently find other scoring options. Much prefer CSU's frame of mind after Saturday's uplifting win at hostile New Mexico, only Rams' 4th win in 39 tries at The Pit!
