They got loud though.

Holy shit someone got a win on the mountain trip. Glad it was us!

Fully expecting us to lose by double digits in Boulder but that’s ok. Sweep at home, split on the road, win the conference.

Not sure who this Bozwell is... but I assume he plays for Utah?

Good sign if he's regressing.

Cats by 8
I didn't account for Pelle missing so many FT's... otherwise... this game played out EXACTLY as I thought it would!

I never count us out. But keeping my expectations low no matter what Pelle said about us running just as much in practice. He was a tired puppy.

Pelle FT shooting was an issue or this would have never gone to 3 OT's. Gritty game. The last OT they shredded the zone. Ballo's tip out was important too.

What a great, great win. Up there with the best of the season, imo.

Anyone happen to know the last time we had a game go to triple OT? This feels very rare.

Well I'm not sure losing a 16 point halftime lead is exactly what we need from this team but a gutty win.

Pretty sure we lost a 3OT game since but I don't remember when.

My family always harkins back to the CaL 3 OT. But that was 12 years ago?

It was Arizona beating up on Utah night. The Suns beat the Jazz as well.

I feel you, but they hung in there and got a very tough road win against a team that will be in the NCAA tournament.

This was a Quad 1 win vs a team that hasn't lost at home.

I don't care how we won- this was a great win

8 turnovers in 55 minutes for a team that has serious issues with turnovers is truly awesome and one of the big keys to the win.

Winning the Pac is nice and all, and we’re getting close to another league title (in our final Pac season).

But this is our first 4 game winning streak since December, and I can’t ignore 4 being the magic number for reaching the FF. As we build towards March, this team has to get better at stringing together A-level performances.

IMNSHO, this game/victory will be more beneficial for this team moving forward, than a 15-30 point blowout would have been.

"Refuse-to-Lose" is the attitude they'll need heading into the post-season, not "Cruisin'"...
