I largely agree, although one caveat, the only thing worse than lack of confidence is misplaced confidence. This is what I’m seeing with Ezra/Keanu RE Smith. For whatever reason, despite Keanu putting up really good number consistently all year, Smith just seems to not believe in him. But with Ezra, he keeps giving him the nod no matter how…[Read more]

The player usage would suggest otherwise, but regardless, I don’t think that’s the right way to look at it. His impact isn’t in the shots he takes necessarily, it’s in his overall productivity. He is better than Ezra in almost every category, and they are very similar players; same height, same hops, same position, same strength. So why not…[Read more]

What’s wrong with coming off the bench? He likely gets less shots playing with the first team. Coming off the bench he gets more shots against the oppositions second squad.

ESPN projected the Utes win the BIG 12….It’s a paywall article so here is what they say:

The winner: Utah. Despite collapsing offensively, the Utes still boasted a top-20 defense (per SP+) and lost five games by a total of 23 points. They’ll have a chance to charge right back up the standings. All they need is to find a QB1 — probably New…[Read more]

Super. Glad to hear it. That must have been an annoying issue. And with that, let’s hope no other bugs or issues are found!

Always open for suggestions and improvement ideas.

He was mouthing off after a no-call. Too bad – he was playing really well until then. The tech was his 2nd personal so he had to sit the rest of the half. Craig pulled him right away and gave him a long talking-to. Ezra didn’t seem to be in the right headspace the entire rest of the game.

Ezra is a fun but frustrating player to watch. He’ll look…[Read more]

For 20 years you forgot they even existed. First they get in the Big12 and have 1 good year in football and big NIl money for basketball and apparently football also. Now they suddenly are national contenders every year. It won’t take long before they become the most hated team and fan base in the conference. Thats been the case in every c…[Read more]

Trend in college football and hoops is longer timeouts. Fans in Rice-Eccles are starting to boo the individual who comes out with the sign displaying the count down clock for when play will resume.

And indeed Big12 officials have a much lighter hand on the game, letting the teams play, especially compared to our former conference.

What did Ezra do on the technical? Figured he was unhappy about getting shoved around a few times (and officials were letting both teams get aggressive, in particular in the first half) and he said or did something to express his feelings.

We won the rebounding battle 36-21 which as a huge help. Did well from the line going 12-17. Helped that the Bearcats were poor from the line, including missing 3 front ends of 1 and 1s (cost a potential 6 points).

Was kind of crazy that when Shark got shoved off of the floor, earning a flagrant 2 on the opponent, that we came away with zero…[Read more]

We won with 19 turnovers because we shot well. Utah made a conscious effort to get looks for Gabe (lots of high screens, etc.) and it paid off. He found his shooting touch, especially as the game wore on, and got to the rim and drew fouls. Unlike the rest of the team, Gabe is nails from the line. Plus Keanu and Ezra (until he got into foul…[Read more]

Yeah, he is a tinkerer and I just don’t think that works. You have to put your best players on the floor and let them go at it. I’m struggling with Gabe, by the numbers maybe Hunter should be playing his minutes. Our guards are a mess…

There’s a timeout and commercials seemingly every 4 possessions.

Serious question: Have you watched a football game lately?

Sorry for the formatting, I guess I don’t really know what I’m doing there.

Big12 ball is much easier to watch than Pac12 ball was. They used to call fouls every time down the floor. Completely ruined the flow of the game, and every game turned into a FT contest halfway through each half.
