The northwest road trip last week was very disappointing. The Taylor foul first, to lose a game that was won and then of course the Utes just having no answer for Oregon, again.
What should we expect from the team tonight? A win against Washington will put us into a tie with them at 7-5, and tied for 3rd in the conference.
That 3rd foul on Poetl was possibly the worst foul call in basketball history. He’s standing there and a guy jumps on his back and HE gets called? Coach K almost had a heart attack on that.
That was so bad. Jump on Poeltl, get a foul call. Ive never seen anything like that. Its really annoying how it seems no. 1 thing on everybodys game plan is to try and “draw” fouls on Jakob.
Personally, I think it was a horrible decision not to play Jayce Johson this year. I felt like Utah should have taken advantage of Poeltl’s talent this year and tried to make another deep run in the tournament. Think of how good Utah could be with both Jayce and Poeltl. Poeltl would have the freedom to be aggressive knowing that Jayce could come in and play for him with the team suffering.
This coming year will be a big recruiting year with Utah losing several long time seniors and might have a few transfers out.
