Bracket Projection: Utah

Last year's NCAA tournament trip was a celebration of the complete rebuild coach Larry Krystkowiak performed with the Utah Utes. Actually, rebuild may not be an adequate description. Resuscitation is more like it. Six wins in Krystkowiak's first year in 2012 to now back-to-back second-place Pac-12 finishes. And despite losing do-everything guard Delon Wright, the Utes might actually be better this season, courtesy of Pac-12 Player of the Year and sophomore center Jakob Poeltl. Last year, Utah reached the Sweet 16. Can this year's edition prove it is better with a deeper March run?
