This team has gotten much better through player development, which says great things about coach Smith. Carlson finally has the strength he needs to play tough inside. Madsen and Stefanovic both shoot 40% plus.
Tie the game, make stupid mistakes. Rinse, repeat.
Stop the stupid turnovers and make free throws. We would easily be ahead.
I am not big on consolation prizes. But we are hanging with a top 25 team.
Turnovers have to been resolved. Averaging 13 a game is an issue.
13 a game isn’t that bad I think. It’s the timing of them that sucks. Missed free throws are should be a misdemeanor for college basketball players.
The Utes played well enough to win. The deciding factor was their poor free throw shooting (61%), at critical times.
