The Utah Utes aren’t any good. They’re not having a good season. In fact, Utah happens to be among the worst teams in the Big 12 (they are the worst team in the Big 12). There’s just nothing going right for Utah at the moment. And that certainly included their matchup with the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Now, Arizona State may have beaten Texas Tech, but the Sun Devils also aren’t all that impressive of a team. They’re just, you know, not consistently all that impressive. There was that win over the Red Raiders, but there haven’t been a ton of those.
So, Arizona State beating Utah by 13 points really didn’t do a ton to shift things in the Big 12 standings, but there are some minor changes that we do need to note because of the Sun Devils’ 73-60 win over Utah.

I mean, Utah is just flat out a bad team. There is absolutely no way that they’re having anything that resembles fun right now. Something tells me that the sooner this season ends, the better Utah basketball fans will feel.
And what’s interesting about this game is that the Utes had an early lead here. They looked decent (not good) very early on. Ultimately, that didn’t matter. Utah is now 2-14 and they are at the absolute bottom of the Big 12 right now. Which, you know, not ideal.
