Salt Lake Tribune coverage of the Utah Utes and the Pac-12.
Lynne Roberts, University of Utah women's basketball coach, runs practice in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.
Maybe some of you remember. I guess they made a movie out of the show some 13 years ago. Either way, Hannibal comes to mind whenever I think ofWhen Roberts was hired as the Utes’ coach in 2015, after leading other programs elsewhere, she arrived with farfetched ambitions and improbable goals, aims she never let fade from her view as the seasons rolled on.Utah women’s hoops had a history of some success, but the top end of that history needed not erasure, rather eclipsing.
There have been ups and downs in that primary pursuit, but last season the Utes won the Pac-12, one of the college game’s premier leagues and went on to subsequent success in the NCAA Tournament, where they were soaring until devilishly defeated in the round of 16 by eventual national champion LSU., Utah down 64-63, and that was the pivotal moment in an outcome that sent the Utes packing and the Tigers on their way to hoisting what would become their trophy.
