      With U$C’s win tonight at ASU, Utah is now all alone in 2nd place in the Pac12 with their 7-3 record.

      It’s time to support this time Ute Hubbers!

      and Oregon lost tonight too.  Separation time.  We really need to AT LEAST split the oregon road trip next week.  Then, sweep the Norcal schools.  We’ll be 10-4 !

      Oregon lost to a team that, prior to tonight’s game, was 6-12 and had one conference win. Just makes you shake your head that Utah can’t beat the Ducks.

        Pretty much every team has their achilles’ heel. Just ask USC football.

      Utes going 5-5 in remaing schedule seems likly based on talent differential, road opponents, and inconsistency of play is the likely scenario. This is with a split in Oregon and beating USC at home which is a big ask. Utes are not beating UCLA at home. Utes lose on the road at UO, AZ, ASU, and CU. Utes play solid defense and can score in streaks especially if the outside shots are falling. CU and UO could be wildcard games.

      Free throws, mid-range shooting, rebounding are weaknesses against the more athletic teams. The more athletic teams are effetive shutting down the perimeter shooting. Overall the team at this point continues to exceed expectations. It would be amazing if somehow Utes end up in the top four getting a bye into the P12 tourney. 20 wins is possible. Smith is doing an incredible job coaching up his team. Hopefully the recent success jump starts recruiting. Go Utes!
