ParticipantRunnin Utes take down #4 Arizona – a nice precursor to Utah defeating another #4 team tomorrow in football!

ParticipantWhat makes this a bit sweeter, Pelle Larson went 0 for 5.

ParticipantFunnest basketball game I’ve been to in a long time. Utah was clamps on D and executed the offense pretty well.

ParticipantTons of guys played better than usual. Worster nearly had a triple double. That’s impressive in College ball especially.
Carlson and Madsen both shot well. Keita had 7 pts and 11 boards.
Whoever said Ben Carlson is like Riley Battin (someone posted it a week or two ago) is a fool. Dude dunked over somebody. Riley Battin is a worse athlete than my 91 year old grandpa.

ParticipantCraig Smith’s first signature win. Hopefully, there are many more to come.

ParticipantThis team doesn’t have a ton of talent. Certainly nobody that can assert their will on offense like Poeltl or Delon… BUT, while the players on this team ARE flawed, they all have things that they are good at, and if they can put it together consistently, they can be a decent team.
If FANS START SHOWING UP! This sort of thing will happen more often.

ParticipantFans: Please stay away. I can drive home from a basketball game in 15 minutes. Takes me 45 after a football game. Don’t mess up my drive. 😉

ParticipantI would have agreed with you before tonight but I don’t think you beat Arizona unless you have some legit talent. Heart and effort can only take you so far.
I saw enough from Worster, Madsen, Keita and Lazar to convince me they can join Carlsen as solid players. Ben Carlsen showed us a few things too.

ParticipantAll players in D1 have some skill or physical attribute that is elite or close to it… but we don’t have anyone that can get a bucket regardless of who is guarding them, not even close really.
Jakob Poeltl could physically dominate most other bigs inside, and had great touch around the basket. Delon could drive and get a layup against most defenders as well. We don’t have anyone that can do those kinds of things on this team… but that’s okay, we’ll get there if we keep playing hard, and fans start showing up again. Someone will want to play for us.

ParticipantThere was more electricity in the Hunty than I have seen in many, many years. Utah lead the entire game. The best part was when Az cut the Ute’s halftime lead of 18 down to 6 with a big play late and a loud U of A chant started up with the timeout. Promptly after that the Utes built the lead back to 20 and the many Cat fans went quiet. Az did not play bad, the Utes just played better than I thought was possible.

ParticipantLoved it the Utes shut down the opposing fan base so quickly. I started singing
