Seen and heard from Salt Lake City, where the fourth-ranked Wildcats were upset by Utah.
Bruce Pascoe Flying into Salt Lake City on Thursday after a loss at Sacramento, a small group of Indiana Pacers found a fitting — if ultimately unsatisfying — form of entertainment at the Huntsman Center.
Two members of the Utah Jazz, assistant coach Jason Terry and forward Lauri Markkanen, were tentative to make it. While they weren’t on hand — the Jazz had an off day Thursday in the middle of a four day stretch with three games — they did attend the Red-Blue Game at McKale Center on Sept. 30. Utah announced a crowd of 6,490 for Thursday night’s game, in part because the football championship game pulled thousands of them to Las Vegas.
"There’s a lot that goes into it," he said."I'm sure it will have an effect on our attendance but that's part of how it goes. That's part of how it works. You know when you play this week, there's always going to be potentially two schools that are affected because of it." While the Pac-12 moved from 18 to 20 conference games in 2020-21, it pulled out two of the four teams each school was scheduled to skip that season and pushed games with them into December. So instead of missing the entire Utah-Colorado trip, as the Wildcats would have in an 18-game schedule this season, UA was asked to play only at Utah on Thursday.
The Wildcats are scheduled to return to McKale Center on Sunday against Cal in a game that could be a sellout. Less than 1,000 tickets remained as of Thursday.
