The Utah Utes know how they want the Pac-12 basketball schedule to end this week. They need two home-court wins and two more of Parker Van Dyke’s sportscasting narrations to punctuate an adventurous season with a top-four finish in the conference and a successful sendoff for him and the program’s three other graduating players.
The postgame tradition after victories started in January when the Utes visited the Pac-12 Networks studio in San Francisco. Kory Mortensen, the athletic department’s creative/new media specialist, asked for a player to go on the set and discuss the previous night’s win at Stanford.
