Monty said we will be a tough out at Haas for the non elite conference teams.

High praise. That is probably what he told the press about his Cal team that won the regular season championship.

one of seven (vs non-conference) according to pac-12.org, but niice

The famous Larry Kristoviak less Utes have their two best big men out with injuries. It might be an opportunity for Cal to steal a road win.

Agree

but they have their super long PG

I watched some of their game and Gach just streaked downhill and scored or was fouled on every play (except made baskets where defense had time to set). He scored 28 points on 10 of 14 shots (71%) including 2-5 from three and 5-6 FTs, 2 assists, ZERO turnovers. It was one of the great offensive performances I've seen.

And this was against long and athletic, and strong defense of USC.

We had no answer for Gach last time we faced him. I was very happy when he transferred out, but with Utah's new coach he transferred back in.

Maybe a player like 2K can slow him down a little
