It appears that Craig Smith may have given the running Utes a defensive identity but time will tell if this holds true. One stat I’m hoping holds true is perimeter defense strength. Washington state shot 4 of 30 from 3 13%, Arizona 4 of 28 from 3 14%, Mississippi St shot 9 of 38 from 3 23%. In the world of chuck the 3 30+ times a game this could prove to be an advantage. I’m optimistic on where things are going.
