Utah Utes: Five Takeaways From Their Survival Victory over the Duke Blue Devils
This game was a great way to start off your Saturday. You had to make sure to get your favorite adult beverage nice and cold by noon and make sure that you had a proper snack to ingest while you were taking in that adult beverage.
Once you had that out of the way it was simply time to take in a great basketball game that just so happened to go to overtime.
It was time to yell at your television while Utah tried to give away a game that they had in the bag with about a minute left in overtime and was lucky to escape with by a score of 77-75 in Madison Square Garden.
