This game was a perfect encapsulation of why this season has been frustrating. First half it looked like we’d never even practiced before and as the turnovers piled up I texted a friend that 20 points should be our goal – for the game. Second half we clearly made some coaching adjustments (proving competency is at least possible) and had two…[Read more]

Well deserved. Shame we couldn’t have done this sooner while he was still alive.

As others have said, I’m not sure Larry has much of a choice given that we don’t really have a natural backup PG, but I do think there’s some cause for concern. He’s really only shot the ball well twice in conference play (Oregon State and Wazzu) and you have to wonder if that’s a combination of hitting the natural freshmen wall, the fact that…[Read more]

He can enjoy a couple of years of retirement then slide right into the DC spot when Scalley takes over the top spot from Whitt.

A statement from the team’s head coach Kyle Whittingham reads, “We were made aware of the very serious allegations involving a member of our football program and he was immediately suspended from all team activities. We have since been informed that Terrell Perriman has been arrested by the Salt Lake City Police Department. Obviously, this does…

You’re not wrong and the stats back it up. Allen has by far the highest usage rate on the team (30.9%) and is only 7th on the team in offensive efficiency. It’s not all on him because someone has to try to score sometimes, but there are definitely times when as soon as he gets the ball you know it’s going up regardless of the defense.

Pac-12 Championship game, Utah outscores Oregon 15-3 in the 3rd quarter. Halftime adjustments…..?

We are a SKI school first, then probably gymnastics … then everything else.

Slightly more than last year, Lennon had 18 “Pin Deep” opportunities this year (punts from our own 41 and closer) and was at 95.1% Target Distance Punted (Target being the 10 yard line.) Last year Wishnowsky had 14 such punts with a 96.3% TDP. Big difference which shows the efficiency of our offense this year, is the amount of “open field” punts…[Read more]

This is perhaps the worst take in the history of takes.

I think it’s a spot on take. We all need to take a step back if we’re cancelling games because a coach complained about officiating in a game with a large foul discrepancy (even if it’s fairly easy to explain why there was that discrepancy.)

I partially agree. I’m not sure it started out as intentional because we really didn’t waste any time starting up that tribute, but once they knew it was happening they could have stopped … and they didn’t.

Stat lines like this are probably contributing to the 20% decline in NBA viewership this year.

I think our slow-mo defensive substitutions are hilarious and a clever exploitation of the current rule, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there is a tweak in the near future to stop it happening.

Amazing how much better the offense runs when he’s in there.

I noticed that Jayce missed the season opener with an injury. He had injury issues when he was here and unfortunately for him it appears they’ve followed him to Marquette.

I declared Eli Ballstaedt the second coming of McKay McGrath. He then promptly shot two airballs on threes. I stand by my declaration.

That is pretty crazy. That ’04 team was involved in a lot of blowouts that I’m sure skewed the stats somewhat, but still that’s impressive.
