Would get a rather wide (and quite divisive) range of answers. Best to ask this in the politics forum.

Worster was by far our greatest loss in the transfer market. Wasn’t a player to have a 30pt triple double but was a consistent contributor who pretty much every single game had a good number of assists and rebounds and a handful of baskets and made relatively few errors. Never had any 2 for 14 games or had 5+ turnovers.

Smart efficient player…[Read more]

Indeed pretty much all of our regular players have their outstanding games, but none of them have had consistently good performances and most of them have had a number of rather bad outings.

A very respectable result came early in the year against Mississippi State (on a “neutral court” in the same state). Kept it close the whole way against a team projected (last I checked) as a 7 seed in the Big Dance.

I’m very happy we beat TD$$$$ who has a few players making more than some of the ones playing down at the Delta Center.

Dramatic ending last night against the Flyers. Utah ended a long losing streak with an OT goal with a fraction of a second left on the clock.

Blitz Kids is a good book that tells the story of this team.

Colorado having an epic disaster of a year but will come in hungry.

We’ve shown some life against the weaker teams in the league and hopefully can win this one.

The club couldn’t get the trademark rights for Utah Yeti as Yeti is a manufacturer of coolers (I have never heard of them and honestly I am not sure if they produce picnic coolers, air conditioning systems, or some other product).

Club said they recached out to them to see if a licensing arrangement could be made and were spurned by the…[Read more]

PAC often got the schedule out during the previous autumn, one thing they did get right.

Would like to know what our dates are as I have work coverage on the weekends about every 6 weeks (that schedule is assigned at the first of the year) and sooner I know the game days the easier it is to find someone to switch weekends with.

As far as off games go, I really miss Worster who we lost in the portal. Was always reliable to have a handful of assists, handful of rebounds, and a few baskets, and made few turnovers. Seldom had a game he didn’t make a good contribution.

Trend in college football and hoops is longer timeouts. Fans in Rice-Eccles are starting to boo the individual who comes out with the sign displaying the count down clock for when play will resume.

And indeed Big12 officials have a much lighter hand on the game, letting the teams play, especially compared to our former conference.

What did Ezra do on the technical? Figured he was unhappy about getting shoved around a few times (and officials were letting both teams get aggressive, in particular in the first half) and he said or did something to express his feelings.

We won the rebounding battle 36-21 which as a huge help. Did well from the line going 12-17. Helped that the Bearcats were poor from the line, including missing 3 front ends of 1 and 1s (cost a potential 6 points).

Was kind of crazy that when Shark got shoved off of the floor, earning a flagrant 2 on the opponent, that we came away with zero…[Read more]

Thanks for all you do Tony.

I remember back in the first years of the trey that as a tam the Lakers had something like ten 3pt attempts in the entire season.

Many teams average that per quarter now.

Still love college hoops and am in the Hunty for most games (when I don’t have a family/work commitment).

Pretty much not at all interested in the NBA due to a number of factors including a lack of defense, endless unguarded three point attempts which are often from 30-40 feet, rest management, etc. And of course our local team striving to…[Read more]

With 5 seconds left, after a foul was called against Utah on the inbounds play before the ball was even thrown in, Knell stepped up to the line with the chance to give BYU the lead. Bricked the front end of the one-and-one. Can’t blame that on the guys in stripes.

Hopefully some of the fans attending had a fun and exciting enough time to attend a few more games. Near the end of the game, the scoreboard indicated seats for future games were available for $10 each (which is pretty cheap compared to any seats in Rice-Eccles).

The Huntsman Center is a wonderful building when it is packed and the atmosphere was incredible last night. Significant number of vocal Cougar supporters but Ute fans were much louder.

Hope that Utah fans (including the students) can come out for some of the other BIG12 games as we need that home advantage against the likes of Baylor, Kansas,…[Read more]
