Another winnable game. Like the Utes, Washington isn’t very good. They are playing better lately, winning 4 of their last 5, but the best win in that stretch was home vs Stanford. The only tough team they played in that run was Oregon, who won by 28.
They have trouble scoring, but are solid defensively. They shoot poorly, and regularly get out rebounded (-7 per game). They thrive off turnovers (+5 per game), and turnovers have been a problem for the Utes.
I’ll be watching if the power stays on in Boston. GO UTES!!
Fell apart and lost a huge second half lead in Salt Lake against them. Hopefully Carlson can shake of his rust and he and the team can win this one. Huskies did just get a quality win against the Buffaloes (who had just knocked off a hot Oregon team).
Just couldn’t quite pull it off. The 20 turnovers are interesting. I attribute many of them, maybe most, to the other team being quicker, but there were plenty of boneheaded turnovers. Two traveling calls at critical moments during regulation and overtime, plus Both stepping on the line at another key moment. Maybe the guys just need to learn how to win again.
FWIW, they looked like they ran out of gas. Whenever I see a team do that, I keep remembering the 30 for 30 “40 Minutes of Hell” and hoping we see our team become could develop up to being able to bring it the way that Arkansas team did. In a lot of ways, Rick’s teams did some of the same, though they weren’t as athletic. Length and speed could give us a shot. That is not who we have right now.
