Stanford 70 Utah 68 OT

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

A very good game and a nice way to tip off, the Pac-12 season.
Stanford(8-4, 1-0 Pac-12) came from nine down at the half to force overtime.

Leading to Cardinal was,Rosco Allen(Budapest, Hungary) and Marcus Sheffield(Alpharetta, GA) with 17. Sheffield came off of the bench to post his total.

Utah(11-3, 0-1 Pac-12) was lead by,Jakob Poeltl(Vienna, Austria) with 16 points. The 7footer is going to be a good one to watch.

Would you consider this one a mild upset?

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Yes.

It seems like a lot more upsets are occurring this season early on than in previous seasons... Maybe its just me

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

There seems to be a lot this year, but I can not say more than previous years.
It does make the season fun, to those of us who choose to watch a lot of games.

UCLA/Washington have put on a nice show in the current contest, that I am watching as I post.

Horrible choke by Utah. All they had to do was hit 1 of 4 FTs with their best 2 shooters to keep the game from OT. Then their 87% FT shooter missed 2 more in OT. This is the type of loss that can start an avalanche for a while for the Utes. Their backcourt was shaken big time by those misses.
