The Utes this season have played significantly better at home, going 5-5 at the Huntsman Center while losing their other 11 games on the road. At home, their trademark has been defense and grit.
They'll need both tonight against Oregon (16-5, 6-3 Pac-12), a game that they will play in pink sneakers as part of the university's Power of Pink campaign and in loose conjunction with Coach's vs. Cancer (which USC and UCLA honored the national event last week with their coaches wearing sneakers).
The Utes will also warm up in pink t-shirts and the coaching staff will wear pink sneakers. The Utah women's team wore pink uniforms last week in conjunction with the Power of Pink campaign.
