Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Utah's is winning like it's 1977.
For fans who have grown up watching Utah women's hoops, it seems like head coach Elaine Elliott has been on the Utah bench drawing up plays and muttering under her breath since the dawn of time. But Elliott, who is in her 25th year and picked up her illustrious 500th career win last season, had yet to show up in Salt Lake City the last time the Utes had an 18-game winning streak.

"I'm glad to be on this team and do it for a coach like Elaine Elliott," Warburton said. "She deserves this. It's because of her that we're where we're at right now. I know she always says it's us, but you know when you have somebody to look up to, and you know that she's supporting you every day, you want to play good all the time."
