2022-2023 Utah Basketball Thread

Probably the same thing I was missing when we were only 7 point dogs to UCLA. Fortunately a push.

In another game…

Michigan St had a 10 point lead with 40 seconds remaining. Down the stretch they only had one turnover, made 5 of 6 from the line…and lost in OT.

And AZ St sinks a prayer from beyond 1/2 court to be AZ at the buzzer.

As much as I dislike AZ—especially nice for them to lose at home, I loath Bobby Hurley, so tough to feel good about their win.

Carlson is not shooting well at all. I hope he finds his rhythm in the 2nd half.

Give up eight 3s and make only two. Utah is lucky to be down just six points.

Carlson finally hit one. Maybe that stretch is over.

I like the way we’re staying in striking distance. I don’t think we have the horses, though.

USC is blistering hot from three, Utes are not

USC is blistering hot from three

And doing pretty well at shorter distances too.

Anybody know what our FG% is?

this will be one of those games where in the end we keep it within 10, but USC is never truly threatened.

With Gabe and Rollie this is probably a 50/50 game

Bad! :person_shrugging:

Well, the numbers are in. 32%. UGH.

I ran into HoopUte after the game. I told him that shooting display took me back to a game my sophomore year where we missed a bunch of easy layups and spent an hour a day of each practice the next week doing nothing but shooting layups from every angle. I still have Coach yelling in my head about making shots in close.

Two seasons ago the Lady Utes won 6 PAC 12 games and this year tied Stanford for the championship. I hope this staff can get close to that. I think Madsen and Wooster going down changed the story for the end of the season, but it is clear we need more guys who can score. You cannot go the last 6 minutes of the game without a basket.

Watching UCLA and CU on CBS…Tad Boyle is going to get a heart-attack.

Well we can’t finish 4th due to tiebreakers and ASU’s lucky 60 foot buzzer beater.
We can finish 5th but that would mean Oregon loses to both Stanford and Cal at home
So If either Utah beats Colorado or Washington beats Wazzu they end up 6 and play Oregon st. If they lose to Colorado and Wazzu wins then it’s the 7th seed against Stanford.

Since Wazzu and Oregon won last night the highest seed we can get is 6. If we win on Saturday we are 6th and play OSU if we lose we are 7th and Play Stanford

Could have a Worster Madsen sighting tonight. All hands on deck

Colorado favored by 5.5. ESPN predictor has Colorado by 61%.
