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.

I think a big Stanford win vs Utah tonight and a new coach for next season are mutually compatible.
Regardless the Pac-12 tourney, we guaranteed yet another losing season in conference.
Regardless a win vs Utah tonight, it's extremely hard to see it leading to a string of enough wins to finish with a winning record.
So I'm good rooting for big win tonight, and let next season coaching chips fall where they should, if they would, ...
