Utah Women’s Basketball Independent
Unaffiliated but friendly with the University of Utah, the Big 16 Conference, and other Pac-12 remnants
Considering our respective rankings before last night’s chess game, I expected to beat my opponent quickly, leave the chess club early-ish, and save myself from watching basketball at dawn.
