In need of late wins, Utah faces last-place Cal
A lack of urgency and defensive focus has put Utah into a tough spot when it hosts last-place California in Pac-12 play at Salt Lake City on Sunday.
The Utes (15-9, 8-5 Pac-12) have no room for error left in their quest to claim an NCAA Tournament bid in March. Utah has slipped to a NET ranking of 55 after losing 78-72 to Stanford on Thursday.
Now the Utes must make up some major ground after falling to the Cardinal.
