There was more reminiscing Wednesday night about last season, specifically a late-December trip to face Oklahoma for the front end of a home-and-home agreement.
Last season, Roberts thought she had enough to walk her team into a Power Five building before Christmas. For three quarters, she was right as Utah built an 11-point lead, only to have the Sooners rip off a 32-point fourth quarter to steal an 83-76 decision. The game marked only the second time in program history, and the first since early in the 2000 season, that Utah hosted a non-conference matchup between top-25 programs. There was enough local buzz that a lively, engaged crowd of 2,521 showed up, including a legitimate presence from The MUSS, which had not been the case for any of the three homes the men’s team has played.
The Utes play an aesthetically-pleasing style of basketball. They shoot, and make, a lot of 3-pointers, they get up and down the floor, and they defend, often for 94 feet. McQueen and Kneepkens, specifically, are electric when they have it going like they did on Wednesday.Early in the third quarter, Kneepkens drilled a triple to extend Utah to a 61-41 lead. On the inbounds pass, Oklahoma’s Madi Williams threw the ball away in the backcourt.
