The Utes are at USC tonight. If ever there was an opportunity for a road win, this is probably it. If any team in the PAC is playing worse than us it’s USC. Game is on FS1 at 9.
USC is in a tailspin (one win in last nine games), but Utes have had just a couple good games in the last few weeks (win over Buffs and the heartbreaker against Zona). Very much need to win this one if there is any chance to try to get back into the tourney discussion.
I would say it’s the HC’s job to get talent. Three years in, there’s no one Smith can blame or point the finger to if his team is underachieving. I could understand it if the team suffered an epidemic of injuries but that hasn’t been the case. Worster isn’t that talented that the entire team collapses in his absence.
Oh, and then there’s this… UCLA won again tonight. Since the Utes demolished them 90-44, the Bruins have won eight of their last nine games. The only defeat in that period has been a one point loss to Arizona. I have to imagine that UCLA is going to have something pretty special prepared for Utah when they play on Saturday.
No matter the end result of this game, you can stick a fork on this program, this roster, and this coaching staff. They’re all done. This team is as irrelevant today as it was when Krystkowiak was fired.
