I don’t know about that. I don’t recall the team really accomplishing anything when Worster was getting major minutes. On the other hand, you could make a solid case that Smith was the only reason why last season’s team made it to the NIT Semis. Do you know why Worster transferred to Nebraska?

Interestingly my impression of him is that he has a lot of turnovers, but the stats disagree. Stats say he is averaging 1 per game give or take. I wonder if that’s because they don’t consider it a turnover if you lose the ball going to the hole. It seems like at least 2 to 3 times per game, he goes hard to the basket and just loses the handle.…[Read more]

I love him in the 6th man role. Come off the bench and take as many shots as he wants against the oppositions second stringers. Not a bad gig.

The players looked like they were having fun and enjoying things.

Hope a lot of Utah fans (in particular the students) come out and cheer loudly Saturday.

The team was better with Rolly than Smith. Smith was a me first player that dribbled himself into trouble and was able to bail himself out with phenomenal athleticism. He was benched by Pitino early in the season for his me first attitude.

Pettiness? Do you see the irony in your post.

I’ve brought this up before that Drake Toll is annoying but I suprisingly got alot down votes for it…

How do you expect some to keep the drama up in the Fan World with you spewing facts like that?

I agree utesbyfive. I think after the last two years of dismal offense Whitt let Scalley get involved with the new offense. Scalley has talked before of wanting a spread offense. Nothing is a guarantee but a step in the right direction.

I can only imagine where this team would be if Smith hadn’t transferred to Saint John’s. Certainly better than 10-6 at this point of the season. Smith, by the way, is having a good season with the Johnnies, averaging almost 11 PPG/6 RBG/4 APG on 28 Minutes a night.

Or how about Utah under late Rick Majerus or Utah after Rick Majerus?

Good win! Keep playing tough boys!

I love this bigger lineup. The length makes up for some of our subpar athleticism. It seems to be causing opponents some problems around the rim on both ends of the court.

Tonight I’m especially encouraged that we can have an off shooting night and still get a wire-to-wire road win.

Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Utes win. Utes win.

Well, I’m feeling a hell of a lot better going into Saturday’s game versus the TDS. If Utah easily handled a TCU team that beat BYU, we might have a shot on Saturday.

Oh my Lord!!! Why hasn’t Dawes been playing regularly? Seems like a tough ask to guard him.

Thumbs up but I hope that you didn’t jinx us. I will admit that I’m very pleasantly surprised to see Utah in control in an arena that BYU lost in last Saturday night. Maybe once Utah gets its second wind in the conference their decided length advantage over the vast majority of teams will pay some dividends.

Big changes are coming, whether we want them or not. I view this year’s shakeups as trying to prime the pump for the future without Whitt.
