Saw this shirt walking out of the game tonight:
Pretty sad we’ve come to this but I have to say I agree. He’s destroyed this once great program.
During the post game on the radio I actually heard players say (paraphrasing) “we’re not worried about winning, we just want to compete.” I just about threw up…
The Ute men’s basketball team loses AT HOME to Southern Utah.
At last night’s debacle in the Hunstman center against SUU I saw something from a Ute player I haven’t seen since the Buster Metheney days. Mid 2nd half I saw Daniel Deane blatantly throw an elbow at an SUU player while running down court. He hit him very hard and I’m sure if the refs saw that they would have ejected him from the game.
A minute or so later the SUU player retaliated and that was called by the refs. Many boneheaded fans yelled about that call but didn’t see the first hit.
I’ve been hearing about how great of a player Daniel is but last night he looked like he was more concerned about huring somebody than winning the game.
I hope this isn’t the type of player Deane is and I hope Giac sees the film and straightens out that type of behavior pronto. I’d rather give my opponents pain with the scoreboard and not with cheap shots.
I don’t EVEN want to talk about the basketball game against Air Force. Another game we were winning by two with 13 seconds to go and managed to lose. We’re not young anymore. It’s coaching.
On a more positive note here are some photos from the Andrew Bogut number retirement ceremony:
Utes lose to Colorado State in OT
Utes lose to the worst team in the conference for the 2nd time. This time it’s on their home court in overtime.
The game was terribly executed from the start. The team looked tired and uninspired. Hard to believe a team can perform so well for 4-5 games then tank one like this.
What a great performance! Completely unexpected but definitely GREAT!
