Senior night is emotional for a lot of people, including players, coaches and fans. As Utah honored the senior class that has turned around the Utah basketball program, it was surreal to say goodbye to Jordan Loveridge, Brandon Taylor, Dakari Tucker, and probably Jakob Poeltl. As with it is with emotional games, rhythms can be thrown off, and that's what appeared to happen for the Utes, and the Buffs, as the teams opened up to shoot 15-of-61 in the first half. Yeah, it was ugly, and CU took an ugly one point lead into halftime, 21-20. In that first half, Utah shot 27% from the floor, and 14% from 3.
