I hate, hate, hate that Larry Scott added high-elevation teams to the league.  I lived at high elevation for years, and this is a giant home-court advantage for Utah and CU.  It takes about 48 hours to even begin to acclimate to elevation--and several weeks to fully acclimate.  Visiting teams simply do not have the time to acclimate.  I can't believe that no one at the conference office thought about this when looking to expand.

That said, the Tourney selection committee will not take elevation into account when evaluating our record, so we really need a win tonight over a mediocre Utah team.  Colorado will be much tougher and would not be a bad loss on our schedule.
