Utah’s up 77-74 with 2:02 remaining and the ball…here’s the offensive sequence

[Ute Dub]

2:02 Turnover Allen, Utes up 77-74

1:39 Ian Martinez made jumper, Utes up 79-76

0:57 Ian Martinez turnover, Utes up 79-78

0:37 Rylan Jones turnover, Utes down 79-81

Washington goes down and scores, Utes down 79-83, Battin shoots a 3 with 9 seconds left…game over

These are the facts and they are undisputed. There is no opinion on this post.

We did a good job taking care of the ball until the last few weeks, but turnovers are becoming an issue lately and we had 16 in Pullman and 16 more in Seattle this last trip.

I have a couple of thoughts on this.

1. When playing a bad team, you shouldn’t be in a position to lose because of 2 turnovers.
2. UW scored on their last 4 possessions.
3. This result would be acceptable if it wasn’t the exact same script, time after time after time after time. This result is what Larry has prepared this team – nay, this program – to do.

I’m glad I swore off watching this team. I’ll be back when Larry’s gone. (And I watched/attended every game of the Boylen and Giac eras.)
