The Lady Ags travel to Salt Lake City to take on the Utah Utes out of the PAC-12 on Friday at 5 pm PDT in the first round of the WNIT. The Ags will try and rebound from their disappointing loss to UCSB in the Big West Tournament last week and it will be a tall task.

As would be expected of a PAC-12 team, the Utes have a lot of size and athleticism. They are led in scoring by their 6'6 center, Emily Potter, who had 22 points and 13 boards against the Ags last year. The Utes blew out the Aggies by 30 points 88-58 in that game. Trying to contain Potter without getting into deep foul trouble will be a huge challenge for the Ags. Morgan Bertsch and Marly Anderson must find a way to limit Potter without getting into early foul trouble.

The Ags have had a remarkable season this year but they did not play well in their games against PAC-12 teams at Stanford and Oregon State. Hopefully, they will come into the Huntsman Center with a chip on their shoulders and play with a gritty determination to make a run in the WNIT. This team is capable of doing just that and now's the opportunity.

The game will be streamed live on the PAC-12 Network at 5 pm PDT Friday:
