Someone in chat or on another board said it best:

We realized if we won, we’d have to do this all over again with 8 mins to go. 

That is the only acceptable answer. Any other answer means we have real problems.

UTES are 0-2 in the NIT during the Larry regime, both winnable games. I wonder if he cares about winning in this tournament.

How is that answer more acceptable? A team that is disinterested in advancing and continuing to play?

Any way you slice it, we have real problems on this team.

[Utah]

I’d say that if everyone returns, we don’t have problems and are headed in a great direction. I’d also say that if everyone leaves again, then we have real problems on this team.
