In Utah’s first real test of this young season, the Utes fell short to the Big East’s Butler Bulldogs by a score of 68-59 Monday night at the Huntsman Center. For the Utes, who have played an awful schedule to date, Butler provided a real test to let everyone know where this young team is, and to no one's surprise, they have some work to do.
First off, Utah showed what they’ve always showed since Coach K took over, and that’s fight. The Utes, especially in the second half, kept falling behind 15+ points, and they’d battle back to single digits.
