College Basketball:
It’s March, which means get ready to dance! The Utes finish the season with a 64-54 win over Colorado Saturday, which gave them a NO. 3 seed for the Pac-12 Tournament this weekend. They will play the winner of the No. 6 Oregon vs. No. 11 Washington State game on Thursday at 9:30 p.m.
College basketball was rocked by scandal last week, as Yahoo published documents from the FBI’s investigation into alleged corruption in college basketball. The documents level charges at the sport’s top programs, including Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, Texas and USC. Among the most intriguing of the documents were expense reports from ASM employee (agent) Christian Dawkins, who was seeking reimbursement for thousands of dollars he said he paid to college and high school players and their families. On the list was Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz, who was just named Rookie of the Month for the third time.

RSL (0-0-1, 1 point) led for 61 minutes after Joao Plata scored 25 minutes in, a goal that looked like the game-winner until an unfortunate own goal by Salt Lake defender Marcelo Silva in the 86th minute when he inadvertently knocked a ball from Maxi Urruti into the top of his own net.
