Utes play some bad basketball in Colorado

Utes Fall On The Road To Colorado, 76-52

Man was this game ugly. The Utes started out the game with a 10-3 lead. That was the best it would look all day. After that Colorado went on a 30-6 run. Yes, 30-6.

By halftime the Utes had a grand total of….get this…16 points.

The Utes didn’t make much of a run in the 2nd half either. They got to within I think 12 but that was it.

About the only thing worse than the game itself was the play calling by Steve Brown and Pace Manion. Now I like Pace. I’ve met him before and he’s pretty cool. And I was lucky enough to watch him play in person through his carreer at Utah. But he’s about as dry and drab sounding a color announcer I’ve ever heard.

Triple overtime loss to Rice

I set my DVR to record the Rice game because I was going to be out running some important errands all day. When I got back to watch the game I found out that CSTV (the channel the game was on) is not in my programming package. What a bummer.

The Utes were down by 4 with just a few seconds left in regulation and somehow extended it to 3 overtimes.

Sounds like our defense might have been an issue in this loss.

Man has this team been in a lot of amazing situations for how early the season is.

This is a team unlike I have seen at Utah.

How about these guards eh? I have always been a Majerus fan, but the guards Giac has gotten and the style of play is something we would have NEVER seen with Rick. This brand of ball (especially tonight) was very exciting. We really are the Runnin’ Utes.

And Giac was INTO this game. He was fired up as hell.

We need some work on the turnovers though. If we turned over the ball less, we would have blown them out.

Another thing that needs work is our defense, especially in the paint. Langvad (yes I probably spelled it wrong) was just lost in the paint and got burned about 4-5 possesions in a row down low. Giac had to yank him because of it.

The crowd tonight was as loud as I’ve heard at THC for a long time. But what was with how loud the frigging Utah State fans were? There had to be more “enemy” fans in our place tonight than I’ve ever seen.

Great game, even if we would have lost.
