They made a point on the gamecast saying that if Utah had just hit 60-70 percent of its free throws, it would have won the Arizona, ASU, and USC games. If that would have happened, the Utes would have been a shoo-in for the tournament.

Looks like we won this game on a tip in at the buzzer. Utah has to essentially go 4-1 in their last five games, with the loss being to either Coloroado or Oregon, to really be in the conversation for an at large bid. Of course, Utah could go crazy and lose all of their remaining games but win the PAC tournament and still get in.

Is it possible he moved on on his own accord?

Easily a 20+ point loss. The Bruins are by far the most in form team in the PAC and only their horrible performances earlier in the season against bad teams (leading to an abysmal current NET score) will keep them from making the tournament. Consider this, since getting blown out by Utah, UCLA has won eight of their last nine games (and…[Read more]

LOL…you might be right…

I doubt it. I’m currently using my away game silver bullet to go to Orlando contest versus UCF. We’re going to be there almost the entirety of Thanksgiving week so we can do the parks.

Will you still go if Utah isn’t in the game?

I don’t necessarily disagree with you. I am transmitting what knowledgeable people in the business say about Carlson. Sometimes we become enamored of our players without realizing that there are thousands of other players at the HS and college level that are both better and have more potential. Ask yourself this, what has changed from last season…[Read more]

I truly your commentary but there’s absolutely no way that Carlson is a superstar headed to the NBA. He’s not even going to get drafted and, if he wants to play in the NBA, it’ll have to be after he makes his bones overseas or in the G-League. Most scouting reports have him anywhere between the 200 to 300 best prospect of the 2024 draft.

If the rest of the season continues to go downhill and the Utes don’t make a coaching change, the only time the Huntsman will be half full is when we play BYU. And it’ll be full of BYU fans.

See Tanny, we’re in agreement again. I’ve had season tickets for the last few years but I’m certainly not reupping next season if Smith stays around. As I’ve said, I’ve seen enough to know that Utah, under his leadership, will never come close to even the heights that Coach K took it to. As many have said on this site, it’s hard to see how Utah…[Read more]

Jensen has minimal experience as a head coach and has been out of the college game for well over a decade. Not saying that he wouldn’t be a good fit or excel. Just that, once again, you’re rolling the dice.

Well, if you can’t recruit then you have no business being a head MBB coach at a P4 university.

But nobody sucks harder than Craig Smith’s Utes.

The buyout is less than $6M. Better to buy him out than go through a season with an empty Huntsman and end up with an 8-25 record in the Big 12.

My guess is that it’ll hit home for Harlan when the Bay Area schools come to town and the only people in the stands are family and friends.

I don’t know how Smith can retain his job. He’s lost all credibility and fan apathy is about to become a thing again.

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.
