Missed attending due to a family commitment up north that got me home well after midnight and watched the tape this morning.

Great win for the team. Other than Lovering (who must be given credit for hard nosed defense), the team was 16-19 from the charity stripe and as a team we had just 7 turnovers against an aggressive defensive…[Read more]

Fond memories of the Hunty over the years beginning when my father took me to my first Utah game against Loyola-CA back in 1969. Place is so great when it is packed but that is rare and it looks barren when well more than half the seats are empty.

Real Salt Lake started in Rice-Eccles for a few seasons and certainly once they moved to Sandy in…[Read more]

When it was 72-72, twice in a row we gave up offensive boards (where they just out hustled us to the ball) leading to 5 points for the Bearcats. Those were daggers.

Someone I sit with at Utah hoops games is no longer talking with his brother as they have very different opinions on how they feel about POTUS. Rather unfortunate.

E33 from 1280 to 1300 (for a pair)

Could have been worse I guess. When we go to a 7 game season, will be quite painful.

Would get a rather wide (and quite divisive) range of answers. Best to ask this in the politics forum.

Worster was by far our greatest loss in the transfer market. Wasn’t a player to have a 30pt triple double but was a consistent contributor who pretty much every single game had a good number of assists and rebounds and a handful of baskets and made relatively few errors. Never had any 2 for 14 games or had 5+ turnovers.

Smart efficient player…[Read more]

Indeed pretty much all of our regular players have their outstanding games, but none of them have had consistently good performances and most of them have had a number of rather bad outings.

A very respectable result came early in the year against Mississippi State (on a “neutral court” in the same state). Kept it close the whole way against a team projected (last I checked) as a 7 seed in the Big Dance.

I’m very happy we beat TD$$$$ who has a few players making more than some of the ones playing down at the Delta Center.

Dramatic ending last night against the Flyers. Utah ended a long losing streak with an OT goal with a fraction of a second left on the clock.

Blitz Kids is a good book that tells the story of this team.

Colorado having an epic disaster of a year but will come in hungry.

We’ve shown some life against the weaker teams in the league and hopefully can win this one.

The club couldn’t get the trademark rights for Utah Yeti as Yeti is a manufacturer of coolers (I have never heard of them and honestly I am not sure if they produce picnic coolers, air conditioning systems, or some other product).

Club said they recached out to them to see if a licensing arrangement could be made and were spurned by the…[Read more]

PAC often got the schedule out during the previous autumn, one thing they did get right.

Would like to know what our dates are as I have work coverage on the weekends about every 6 weeks (that schedule is assigned at the first of the year) and sooner I know the game days the easier it is to find someone to switch weekends with.

As far as off games go, I really miss Worster who we lost in the portal. Was always reliable to have a handful of assists, handful of rebounds, and a few baskets, and made few turnovers. Seldom had a game he didn’t make a good contribution.

Trend in college football and hoops is longer timeouts. Fans in Rice-Eccles are starting to boo the individual who comes out with the sign displaying the count down clock for when play will resume.

And indeed Big12 officials have a much lighter hand on the game, letting the teams play, especially compared to our former conference.

What did Ezra do on the technical? Figured he was unhappy about getting shoved around a few times (and officials were letting both teams get aggressive, in particular in the first half) and he said or did something to express his feelings.

We won the rebounding battle 36-21 which as a huge help. Did well from the line going 12-17. Helped that the Bearcats were poor from the line, including missing 3 front ends of 1 and 1s (cost a potential 6 points).

Was kind of crazy that when Shark got shoved off of the floor, earning a flagrant 2 on the opponent, that we came away with zero…[Read more]

Thanks for all you do Tony.
