Win a few, lose a few, that’s the recipe for a .500 season. Just ask the Utah men’s basketball team. But with the Utes coming off an easy win over Colorado at home and with road games at Stanford (Thursday) and Cal (Saturday) — both winnable games — a successful trip could bode well for a young team still trying to find itself. Meanwhile, the Ute women continue to roll, as do the Red Rocks. Insiders Dirk Facer, Mike Sorensen and Trent Wood weigh in on these stories, reminisce about the legendary Bruce Woodbury, and catch up with former Ute great Jimmy Soto. That and more on this week’s Ute Insiders podcast.
