Utah started on a 21 to 4 run. Total collapse since the half. Utah basketball is not good.

Solid W, but losing that enormous lead was brutal to watch…..But we fought back & found a way to win, something that would’ve been unthinkable last season.

19 Turnovers in the game… and that was while going like the final 7 minutes without a single turnover. 19 turnovers in 33 minutes of basketball is revoltingly terrible basketball.

We won because either they shot really poorly, or we played excellent defense, or a combination of both. They shot less than 30% from three, less than 35% overall, and less than 60% from the line… all terrible numbers. They only had 5 turnovers, which makes me think the bad shooting was just plain old bad shooting, and not great defense. That is some seriously awful shooting though, even worse than our 19 turnovers in what was essentially three quarters of a basketball game.

Team regained their poise once Ga Tech took the lead.  Helped that the Yellow Jackets couldn’t throw the ball into a hula hoop and attempted some rather optimistic shots from far distance.  But glad we won a close one.  Still lots to fix but feel better about last night than I did walking away from the Hunty a few days ago.
