Boulder, Colo. • Asking the Utah basketball team to deliver a seventh road win in Pac-12 play probably was too much. The immediate issue is whether winning their last two home games also is too ambitious for the Utes.
“Our biggest thing is, just go home and defend home court,” senior guard Sedrick Barefield said after Saturday’s 71-63 loss at Colorado.
That would defy Utah’s trend. The visits of USC (Thursday) and UCLA (Saturday) to the Huntsman Center offer the Utes one last chance to sweep a Pac-12 homestand for the first time this season.
