The Miami Ute

I’m absolutely certain that they will have tickets for the game. However, just like during bowl games, the regular season ticket holders will have first dibs.

Decent showing by Ute fans tonight. I’m guessing a crowd easily between 6500-7000 or about the number that showed up on Sunday night.

You know Eagle, that’s learned behavior on Whitt’s part. I’ve done a little bit of research and, in his first couple of years as head coach, he was much more forthcoming on injuries, etc…I remember that when Johnson got hurt against New Mexico in 2005, he gave a pretty detailed explanation of his injury (ACL tear) and how long he’d be out.

I got to the Huntsman before the doors opened and there was already a medium size line of people waiting to get in. I think that it’ll be a good crowd tonight. As I bought my ticket just after the victory versus Iowa, I noticed that there weren’t as many tickets available.

Utah already beat Wazzu, Oregon, and Colorado at the Huntsman. They also would have beaten Arizona if they would have hit just half of their free throws. Yeah, VCU is a good team but Utah has already beaten teams that are better than them at home. You also have to take the constant travel and altitude as negative factors for VCU. I’m not…[Read more]

Thanks for posting this. I had no idea. It’s hard to think that these events had nothing to do with Utah’s performance in last night’s game. Also hard to believe that this hasn’t been picked up by the national media yet.

I did. That 2nd QTR was ugly.

Here’s a good article on the regional: Utah isn’t going to be one of the favorites this postseason, but that isn’t abnormal

According to it though. Georgia is on hard times. The Bulldogs finished in last place in the recent SEC Gymnastics Championship.

Brother, I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve gone to the majority of home games since my family and I moved back to Utah in 2019 and I understand your point. My guess would be that the Utah fanbase has gotten infected with the football success and if the basketball team can’t mirror it, then I guess most casual fans, which I would submit is the…[Read more]

I wonder what his total buyout cost was. Smith’s buyout to be released from his Utah State contract was $1.1M. You have to imagine that Utah State learned from that and that the figure has to be higher than that.

Evidently Michigan thought that Dusty May was also a great coach because they just hired him last night from FAU.

Once again, Utah is getting little return on its MBB investment.

Capko is the same as White. A guy that’s never been a head coach at the collegiate level. Is Utah such a dumpster fire of a MBB program that we have to take chances on unproven coaches? I heard vía the grapevine that Randy Bennett reached out to the program after Krystkowiak was fired and didn’t even receive a call back. Bennett has been a…[Read more]

You know this for a fact or read it somewhere?

Stevens is at the top of my list but I can’t see a realistic scenario where he leaves Boston and comes to Utah.

Smith makes $1.85M a year. He’s not getting canned until the end of next season at rhe earliest, At that point, Utah would be on the hook to him for $3.7M.

My #1 choice would be Mark Few, but he’s never leaving Spokane no matter the inducement.

Dusty May – FAU Head Coach – currently making $1.25M.
