Same as Miami – my tickets say Huntsman. Where are you hearing it’s at the Delta Center?

As I’ve said before, this is Gabe Madsen’s team. We go as he goes. And when he goes 10% from 3, we’re not going to go well. If Gabe shoots his season average, we win this game by 15.

Also, Miss St’s point guard made Hunter Ericksen look like the Hunter Ericksen we all know on defense.

It’s just a pretty obscure stat to have this much emotional energy invested in, that’s all I’m saying.

Honestly I think it’s weird that we as fans put so much value on this particular streak.

I should have mentioned: It was obvious last night that we were trying to get inside more. It wouldn’t surprise me if Craig told the guys he wanted 2 inside attempts for every attempted triple. In the first half it looked a little herky-jerky and forced, which led to some sloppy play. But in the second half they got more comfortable, plus the…[Read more]

Agree with OP. Mongol Mike gets better with every game he plays. He’s so smooth out there. Mike, Madsen, and Miro (3M?) are a pretty formidable back court as long as Miro isn’t trying to do too much.

The front court is our weakness. Ausar shines when he can slash and get to the cup. He draws contact well. But he’s pedestrian in the half court…[Read more]

Since we don’t know if Whit will be in charge next year, then my original point stands. Way too early to write off next year’s offense.

Data suggests that pretty much every team is getting the majority of their offensive production from the portal. Utah will be no different next year. Waaaaaaay to premature to write off next year’s offense.

Teams like ours tend to be really tough at home and crap on the road. The “enemy gym” phenomenon tends to affect outside shooting teams the most.

But hey, I’m not complaining. If we’re competitive in every game at home and losing every game on the road, that’s better than I thought we’d be.

Everything you said is correct. But I would point out that 2 bigs who are supposed to be big contributors (no pun intended) aren’t playing yet. So eventually we may have a bit more inside presence than we do now.

He’s actually been on the roster since about August.

(Yes, I checked because I’m a nerd like that)

What’s the difference between a patriot, a rooster, and a BYU-Provo Campus coed?

A patriot says “Yankee doodle do”.
A rooster says “cock a doodle do”.
A BYU-Provo Campus coed says “any doodle do.”

You just gave me an interesting idea for a sports league business model (doesn’t matter which sport): Require every player on the team to be from that city.

So you’re saying you no longer like basketball because it’s gotten too good? I guess I get that – that’s why I don’t like the NFL.

Blaming Whit for players getting hurt? Do you think he’s out there whacking knees with a bat Tonya Harding-style?

I’m with you. I never boo anyone or anything. Life’s too short to get pissed about sports.

“Billy, this is Isaac Wilson. His flaw is that his brother porked their mom’s best friend.”

It would be interesting to see some school try this experiment: Give 100% of the NIL money to the linemen (offensive and defensive). Build two lines of 5-star hogs. Dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

Obviously, that means your “skill” positions would be nothing but 3-stars and 2-stars. But even the most pedestrian QB looks…[Read more]
