We play Utah tomorrow at 6 p.m.

Stanford has had one meeting with Utah in the Pac-12 tourney, in 2015.  The game started well enough, with Stanford holding a five-point lead at the half.  The second half went somewhat less well.  That Utah team was good, they would be a Sweet 16 team that year, and Stanford would go on to become the champions of the NIT.

I've got to confess to being torn about what outcome to root for in this game.  The players deserve success, but so does the program.

Hard to believe that this one game will be a deciding factor in Haase's fate.
Now if we made the finals of the tourney or something like that it might make a difference, but I think the chances of that happening are pretty slim.
So I think we can root for Stanford in this one without fear that it will give Haase another season.
Unless, of course, the powers that be have decided to retain him regardless of what happens.
