  Ugly, ugly game. Even the freethrow shooting looks awkward and forced.

    The bench players are looking MUCH better than the starters…

      Allen should just sit. Defending him is way too easy — dribble, dribble, dribble into the paint; has nowhere to go and then make ugly passes. Can’t shoot. Can’t pass. Not that good of a defender.
      
      Battin — inconsistent shooter. Not athletic. Can’t create. A 6’8″ forward, but a lot less athletic/coordinated than Carlson.
      
      Gach — has all the athleticism, but in a funk.
      
      Jones — smart, knows the game, but undersized and not particularly athletic. Needs team-mates to step-up. He can put his team-mates in scoring position, but they can’t finish.
      
      Carlson — tons of potential.
      
      Thiune — good back-up.
      
      UCLA deserves a lot of credit, of cours.

  Is Allen aware he does not have an outside shot? Does he know he’s a small 6’6″ forward? He’s been pretty useless as of late. Of course, it doesn’t help that the team doesn’t have consistent shooters. Really curious what next year’s recruits can do.

    Not as bad as the playing of Allen/Battin/Gach.

      Gach needs to play. He’s our most talented player by far. Coaches need to let him figure it out.
      
      that said, coaches are not putting these talented players in position to be successful on offense with these antiquated schemes.
      
      we need to pull the post player up for a ball screen or the high post so Allen and gach can have some space to go to the rack

  I was extremely disappointed that I had to be out of town on business this week and would be missing this game. Don’t have access to the game on TV at the hotel, so I’m having to try to imagine what this looks like based upon the internet radio broadcast of Riley and Soto. (My seats are occupied with hand picked Ute fans, cheering loudly.)
  
  Frankly, I should probably be happy I’m not there. With an 8:30 start, there is probably not a great crowd, and while the game is not over, it seems over. I’ll listen to the rest and keep cheering the Utes on.
  
  In the meantime, USC lost at Colorado. It’s hard to figure whether that means they’ll come into SLC tired and Utah sneaks one out, or they come in angry and determined not to lose both games on this trip.
  
  Go Utes!

  ‪Can’t get a shot off coming out of a timeout. Lame. ‬

  Utes had a solid offensive gameplan going into the game, actually running an offense of sorts… Shots didn’t fall, Allen and Gach made stupid plays on offense. Jones passes up wide open shot after wide open shot, the offensive gameplan is abandoned. We get jobbed by the refs a few times, and here we are.
  
  Embarrassing

  I was wrong, it is over – at least for me here on the East Coast – no sense staying up any longer for this 🙁
  
  Riley and Soto are even struggling trying to find anything positive to say.
  
  I’ll be back in town, and in the Hunty for the 4:00 PM Sunday game against USC. Given recent results, and the way the team played tonight, that might be our last opportunity for a win this season.
  
  Go Utes!

  Officiating is absolutely ruining this game. What a joke. Missed so many blatant calls that would have gone our way.

  By no means did the officiating change the outcome of this game, but hell they missed THREE goal tending calls.

    Ragged officiating where home fans tend to remember the mistakes that went against us than the ones that went for us. But after the 3rd missed goaltend call, I noted to my seatmates that I understood why Lilliard blew his stack in the Portland-Jazz games a few weeks ago.
