Utes On Road to Face Cowgirls Thursday
The University of Utah women's basketball team wraps up its first trip through the Mountain West Conference loop Thursday evening at Arena Auditorium in Laramie, Wyo. The Utes will put their undefeated league record on the line against Wyoming.
Utah is 14-6 overall and 7-0 in Mountain West action. The Utes are coming off a 64-54 win over BYU Saturday. Morgan Warburton tied a career-high with 25 points in the victory over the Cougars, which gave Utah sole possession of first place in the conference.
Wyoming comes into Thursday's contest with a four-game winning streak. The Cowgirls defeated San Diego State, TCU, Colorado State and Air Force in that stretch.
Utah has won 30 straight against Wyoming. But the Utes needed overtime last season and double OT in 2005 to win in Laramie.
