I haven’t studied Utah.* But like AZCatGirl says, any win this year is a relief. And I do not anticipate us breaking any zone. So hoping for the best.

* I don’t study Utah, and I don’t assemble My Ikea furniture. These are domains for people with lives I no longer relate to.

Well, I would be seriously concerned if anyone here is taking the time to study Utah...

Anyway, from what I read they have length and shoot the 3's very well - sort of live and die with that especially from their Sr. PG Barefield who shoots 40% from behind the arc.

They also turn the ball over a lot - 13 a game - which could be a big factor.

They are just a decent rebounding despite their size but we still need everyone to crash the glass today.

Hoping the Utes come down to earth after their stomping of the Scums.

UofA - 74
Larry's Utes - 69

I have to assume that this pregame show is gonna go into overtime so that we miss the first 10 minutes if the game.

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 12:11 pm

We need more stops - Utes cutting us up.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 12:13 pm

Utes are gonna kill us if we keep giving them open 3's and open driving lanes.

We made the adjustment. And another Doutrive sighting. Looks like he’s worked his way into the rotation.

Cats trying too hard to get Jeter the ball. At least the second time they give up a wide open shot 8 feet away to pass to a covered Jeter

A number of situations where they have dribbled into trouble. Luther also had a wide open 8 footer in the lane and tried to force it in resulting in a turnover.

Haha, nice clipboard slam out of coach K’s assistant’s hand.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 12:45 pm

tied up 36 at the half. considering we were down 10 at one point, i'll take it.

utes have 1 guy that we just need to shut down, and we can win this.

I don't know if I have ever seen a half of basketball with so few fouls.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:11 pm

Not a travel!

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:12 pm

How do you penalize a player like that for going for a loose ball?

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:12 pm

Just telling my wife that it looks like refs are going to call a lot of fouls in second half to make up for first half

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:13 pm

I don’t think it should have been called but when he slid I see why they called it

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:15 pm

Doutrive taking Barcello’s minutes, not Coleman’s

ByJoveByJingle · Post by **ByJoveByJingle** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:15 pm

Barcello no minutes today.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:16 pm

We need that from Luther!!!!

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:16 pm

Luther on fire

ByJoveByJingle · Post by **ByJoveByJingle** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:18 pm

They are just making highly contested circus shots. Keep up the pressure and they’ll stop falling.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:18 pm

Both teams are scoring at will

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:25 pm

how did jeter foul him?

oh yeah, he didnt

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:27 pm

This Tillman kid can't miss.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:27 pm

We might want to stop giving him wide open looks.... but I'm no coach...

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:28 pm

Luther needs to stay on that guy. twice he went off him, and the guy made the 3

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:29 pm

Luther can't cover Tillman, just way too slow.

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:32 pm

Especially when he he is double teaming someone else

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:35 pm

Does Smith not know how to pull up from midrange?

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:35 pm

Mustafa Shukur thinks Dylan Smith steps out of bounds too much

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:36 pm

Coach K destroys Sean every time.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:38 pm

4+ minutes without a bucket

Coleman stepping it up!

That pass to Jeter was incredible

By what measure? Can you actually destroy someone by losing to them? Bold strategy!

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:45 pm

so get get a stop on d with the shot clock violation. and then follow that up with a turnover, and giving up a wide open dunk.

sigh.

The measure that helps improves your teams chances to win in a specific matchup. Utah probably has 2 of the best 20 players in the Coach K vs. Miller era, of course we should win.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:48 pm

I like how we've responded since that open dunk we gave up.

let's make throws and cloe this out

Haha, ok. If he was just a little better of a coach maybe they would win. Too bad.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:51 pm

big board from Luther. gotta make the throws

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:54 pm

Ty Lue has won an NBA championship as a coach. He doesn't even have a basketball coaching job three years later. You should win when you have better players.

Ok, man. I get your point. It’s an irrelevant point, but I get it.
