Never a fun road trip for any squad, Oregon State heads to battle Utah to tip-off the Pac-12 portion of their schedule on Thursday.
The Utes are a dangerous yet inconsistent group, who boast wins over Minnesota, BYU and Kentucky so far this season, while also banking losses to the likes of Coastal Carolina and Tulane. When it’s good, it’s been great for the Utes. When it’s bad, it’s been downright abysmal.
The one constant for Coach Larry K’s program has been star forward Timmy Allen (21.0 PPG), who is making a legitimate case for the league’s Player of the Year award.
