Amid difficult seasons, both Colorado and Utah will aim to get back in the win column when they face each other Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.The visiting Buffaloes (9-12, 0-10 Big 12) hope to earn their first conference win against their old Pac-12 rival, while the Utes (12-9, 4-6) want to bounce back after recent struggles.Utah enters having lost three of four, including an 81-72 setback at Oklahoma State on Saturday.”It wasn’t an aesthetically pleasing game,” Utah coach Craig Smith said in his postgame interview on 700 AM. “But it’s a game, quite frankly, (we) anticipated with it just being physical and hard-nosed.”While Utah struggled offensively, only shooting 40 percent (22 of 55), the Cowboys converted on 23 of 47 field goals (48.9 percent) and went 27-for-36 from the free-throw line. Smith believes the Utes need to be stingier defensively in order to start climbing up the Big 12 standings again.”We’ve got to get more stops,” he said. “Every game we’ve won in league play, we’ve held the opponent under a point per possession, and (Saturday), they’re at 1.2 points per possession.”
