Did Utah fans really think they were going to win on Saturday to such a degree that losing was that crushing? They played a very good team and Utah was decidedly short handed, without all their key offensive pieces. Utah might have lost even with Booker, but without him they were in trouble.
The Utah fans in the stadium seemed quiet and let down the whole game. Not much energy in that stadium which makes me think MOST Utah fans realized they might lose. Just the mentally derelict in their group that couldn't imagine that being a possibility
