Season Efficiency 2017-2018
I'm sorry I'm a little behind but this will be the thread for this season which is now upon us.
Had some computer issues but all is good now.
I'll start with tonight's game Missouri and work my way back to get caught up, even though the first 2 games shouldn't really count.
For good measure...basketball efficiency is (Pts+Rebs+Asts+Blks+Stls) - (Turnovers +(Shots missed))
Welcome to the 2017-2018 season.

Fouls were even at 20 but Utah gave up 12 more free throw attempts and 8 makes 10/13 vs 18/25.
Utah is only allowing 33.7% from the field, while shooting 49.2% as a team.
Utah had 15 more possessions than Missouri 71 to 56 due to the turnover difference.

Keep in mind the +/- is the difference in their season efficiency, not the +/- score when they're on the floor that many stats now provide.
Good tune up game. Still 16 turnovers. Utah shot 44.8% from deep, Bealer 6/8, Utah allowed 28.6% from MSVST 18/63.
Ho hum...bring on some real competition.

Yes Bibbins had a great game going 5/8 from deep, 36 minutes with only 2 turnovers and 4 assists.
But Rawson had the 6th best performance of the season and his 3rd in the top 6 performances...there's only been 4 games.
Rawson 9 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. If he hits 3 of the 5 shots he missed his efficiency shoots up to 33.
He is becoming the most consistent player on the team.
Bealer 24 is still the season high but there are now 8 20+ PER performances for Utah this year.
Utah was +8 on assists and +7% from the free throw line. Utah had 16 turnovers (averaging 13.8 per game for the season)...terrible
For the first time all year Utah had less blocks than their opponent.\
Utah picked up 37.9% of all offensive rebound opportunities (averaging 31.7% )
Game 5 Efficiency - UNLV 123 Utah 49 (UNLV 85-58)
Well that escalated quickly.

As you can see in the far right column, that's the individual players ranking for a Utah opponent for this season.
UNLV put up 4 of the top 6 performances in this game. The 35 PER for McCoy might go down as the season high against Utah...Until Trier and Ayton at least.
Tillman continues to be strong. I still have Rawson as the #1 player on Utah but Tillman is right behind him. Rawson's ability to shoot the 3 gives him the advantage right now.
Tillman got his second double/double of the season 14 pts, 11 rebounds.
I love watching Jayce play, he's a lanky and awkward guy but he loves to rebound. His offensive game is still week. The travelling he was called on is a simple footworking tweak. He pivoted on the same foot but he switched from his toes to his heel, refs like to call that one. It doesn't feel like a travel but it is. If he can stay on his toes the up and under will be there. The announcers likened his game to Kevin McHale, I like that comparison. If he can learn to run on his toes, he's very flat footed and that's why he appears awkward, then he could be an NBA guy.
Utah was -16 in rebounds, only the second time they've been outrebounded all season. -5 on assists was the first time their opponent had more assists. The Utes were also -10 from the field and -15% in shots. Shooting 35% for the game will do that. Only 2/20 at 10% from deep...yikes!.
This was the highest possession game of year at 139 combined but only the third highest score at 143. This game had the lowest attempts from deep at 36 combined, Utah games average 46 attempts. A lot of that is UNLV, they only attempted 16 and made 5. Didn't matter since they were 26/46 at 56.5% from inside the arc.
Last year I was tracking efficiency per minute, the magic number was 1. If Utah gets over 1 they win, if they get under 1 they lose.

David Collette was obviously the guy EW couldn't stop. 11/12 from the field?
EW is a streaky team, if they get hot they can beat a lot of teams, if they aren't hitting they will lose easily. Last night was the latter.
5/27 from deep 18.5% is a bad night. Utah owned every category last night except steals, -4 and possessions -14.
That game saw 53 three point attempts, third time that's happened this season. Utah is 3-0 in those games.
The only game Utah lost there were only 36 attempts. Key, make them shoot from deep and make threes on your end. Sounds simple.
Utah has only allowed 13 double digit efficiency scores all season, 3 came against EW.
On the other hand Utah has scored 26 double digit efficiency games, 4 came against EW.
Next game is vs Hawaii- 179th in FG%, 347th in 3pt %, 316th in scoring, 122nd in rebounding.
Utah is 108th in FG%, 241st in 3pt %, 60th in scoring, 93rd in rebounding.

First off, it felt like Tyler had a bad game...still had a 16 player efficiency rating. 1/5 from the field, 0/3 from deep...ho hum. But 9 rebounds, 5 assists, only 2 turnovers, 2 steals, 2 blocks. The dude is a stat sheet stuffer.
The announcers made a comment that Rawson is a true triple double threat. Can't say that about a lot of guys but he just does everything. I still have him as the #1 rated player on the team.
2nd, guard play has to improve. PVD needs to get out of this slump. 10/33 on the season only 4/22 from deep. We can't have a key shooter going 18.2% from deep. It will never open up the inside.
Bealer has been consistent from 3 shooting 57.1% at 16/28 and that's been the best part of the season other than Tillman.
Barefield is up and down. Bad vs UNLV, great vs E Washington then bad vs Hawai'i. Hopefully that means he'll be great at Butler.
Collette has only had 2 sup 10 PER games (Missouri and UNLV) The only bad thing about that is those are the best 2 teams Utah has played so far. Will he show up vs Butler?
Tillman continues to impress. The game seems to have already slowed down for him. He reacts before the play happens, that's a great sign for a freshman. He almost got his 3rd double-double of the season last night but unlike Rawson he lacks that's third level to get a triple double. Only 4 assists on the season. He's 54.2% from the field, and tied for first at the line at 85.7% 24/28. If Tillman can turn into a dangerous passer he could jump to the NBA before his senior season.
Utah has only been in one close game (less than 10 pt difference) all season Ole Miss. I hope they can hang with Butler. I see that one as a close one Butler -2. If Collette and Barefield decide to show up I think Utah can pull off the win.
Go Utes!

Layups are hard. Utah shot 42.4%. 35% in the loss to UNLV.
They are 6-0 shooting over 43% 0-2 shooting under 43%
Utah is 6-0 when they hold their opponent under 80. 0-2 when opponents score over 80
Same goes for assists/turnovers 6-0 when opponent is under 1. 0-2 when over 1.
In 2 losses the opponent efficiency per minute is 1.78
In 6 wins the opponent efficiency per minute is 0.91
Utah has only been under 1 EPM once (UNLV). 1.11 vs Butler 2nd lowest
Season low in free throw attempts and makes 9/11 (avg 15.4/19.6)
26 rebounds was the first time Utah had less than 30 rebounds. Avg 37.5
Utah shot better from deep by 3.5% vs Butler but were -12.2% from the field overall.
Collette once again disappeared vs superior talent. I'm starting to think he's playing up a level.
At this point, Tillman and maybe Bibbins are the only Pac12 level players on this team. Maybe Rawson.
That's sad since Tillman and Bibbins weren't on the team last year.

Rawson FG% is dropping off and his fouls are high.
If Tillman can get a handle on his turnovers, 1.5 per game, and improve his assists, he'll run away with this.

First off, I had a feeling Collette would show up. Old team, Mtn West team, easy prediction. Now bring it again big man.
Bibbins was awesome. 3/5 from deep, 7 assists, 4 rebounds. His 23 is the third highest for a Ute this season.
It was also nice to see PVD get some confidence. 3/4 from deep he's now 13/37 from three 26.9%
Tillman had a fall back to Earth game which drops him now to third overall on the team (Rawson #1, Bibbins #2)
Not sure if he was feeling well or the foul trouble just never got him in a groove but he was a non-factor.
Koby McEwen had been averaging 12.4 pts with 2 20pt games and a season low of 9 (three times). Utah completely took him out. He fouled out with 0 points.
Bealer and Tillman had poor games but it was nice to see other players step up in their absence.
This game was perfectly average for Utah.
An average game for Utah is 78-68 in the score, this was 77-67
Utah averages 19 fouls, this game was 20
Utah averages 15 assists, had 15
Utah was great behind the charity stripe, 86.4% was the season high 19/22
Only 2 offensive rebounds but a lot of that had to do with shooting 51%
Utah gave up 12 offensive rebounds to the Aggies, that and 13 more attempts from the field kept the Aggies in this. Aggies were +19 on possessions. -3 on turnovers.
Utah has only been out-blocked once all year (Mississippi -3) they were +5 vs Utah State
Utah has only been out-assisted once all year (UNLV -5) they were +4 vs Utah State
Bring on that other blue team.

Lost in the ugliness of this game was Rawson's near triple double. 15 pts, 10 rebounds 8 assists.
The loss of Tillman was the difference. BYU fans would like to tell you that they were missing Dalton Nixon but that comparison just isn't the same.
Tillman is averaging 10.9 points but in games he played over 20 minutes he's averaging 18.2 pts and 8 assists. Huge loss.
Not to mention his perimeter defense which obviously was poor.
Elijah Bryant, never heard of him until last night, played all 40 minutes, 5/7 from deep and 9 rebounds. I would have to believe Tillman would've had an impact on him defensively.
But that's the way the cookie crumbles. Bryant had a great game and Utah lost. Bibbins appeared to be forcing it a lot, possibly had a personal vendetta vs BYU from the WCC days.
Rawson's 25 is just behind Collette's 29 PER vs Eastern Washington. Gabe Bealer had his 2nd best game of the season and should've been more of a key to the offense IMO vs BYU. He owned that baseline.
Perimeter defense was the difference. -27.3% difference from deep, 10/20 vs 5/22. Only UNLV has a team shot better than deep vs Utah this season.
Utah's 22.7% from deep was the 2nd lowest of the year, 10% vs UNLV
Fouls were even but Utah had 4 less attempts.
Utah has been out-rebounded for the 3rd straight game. Also, for the first time all year Utah didn't register a block, -5 in blocks.
Rebounding is all about heart, Utah is lacking an aggressiveness lately, one that BYU definitely had last night.
That was the slowest game of the season. 108 possessions, Utah games average 126 possessions.
In Utah wins they are +7.4 on rebounding, in Utah losses they are -8.7
In Utah wins they are +7.3 on assists, in Utah losses they are -2.3
Those are the biggest factors between wins and losses for Utah. Which tells me desire and offensive movement need to improve.
Can't win them all. Let's get Tillman and Seeley ready for Pac12 play and shoot for the stars.
This team isn't bad, they pass well and they defend at times. Perimeter D must improve, Tillman and Seeley help immensely with that.

Bibbins coming out party 8/14 from the field 7/10 from deep 6 assists, 3 steals only 1 turnover. FYI, best PER for the season for a Ute.
He's had good games this year. This was his 3rd 20+ PER game (Utah St and Ole Miss), great way to come back after his worst game vs BYU.
Rawson also had his best game of the year, back to back actually. For the guy I've been calling the best player on the team all year, that's nice to see.
8/12 from the field, 4/6 from deep, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks.
Rawson, Bibbins, Johnson and Barefield almost beat the entire NW team. For a game Utah was missing probably their 4 most athletic players that's nice to see.
Collette, Bealer, Seeley and Tillman. Don't forget, in the three games Seeley was averaging 8 PER.
Utah had 6 blocks, big difference from 0 vs BYU. 13 fouls was the lowest for the season. Utah is consistent at being bad.
In the last 7 games Utah has had (11, 13, 13, 11, 13, 13, 13) for turnovers. That's rather impressive.
Utah had 11 offensive boards, double digits for the 6th time this year. Avg 8.3 per game.
They reached 109 efficiency for a team, 4th time this year over 100.
Utah had a 34.9% assists to shots, 2nd highest for the year. Avg 26.9%
Another consistent stat, shots made last 5 games (25, 25, 24, 26, 26) avg 26.7 for season
The 36 shots from beyond was way over their average of 25.3 and a season high. Hadn't broken 30 before this game.
Utah held NWSt to 9 free throw makes, first time in single digits on the season. 9/11. 11 attempts also a season low. Average 13.5/19.3. 81.8% was season high for opponent, first time over 80%
NWSt did get 42 rebounds, only the second time Utah allowed 40+ rebounds (UNLV 46)
NWSt got off 71 (avg 59.9 for Utah opponent)
Utah was +17 on shots from deep, average is +3.9
Utah was +15 on assists, only other time that happened was MS Valley St.
147 possessions was way over the season average 127.7. NWSt liked to run.
Short story, great warmup game for Pac12.
Bring on the Ducks 10-3
Oregon is 67th in FG%, 89th in 3pt%, 13th in pts scored, 52nd in Rebounding.

Hands down, Bibbins getting hot won this game. Something I haven't heard a lot about was the Utah defense frustrating the Ducks.
On several occasions I noticed Oregon players jawing with each other and telling them they did something wrong.
I hope this is the case going forward. The Utah defense is good, not great, but they play smart rotation D and there aren't many easy shots.
I heard K talk about this team. He had a heart to heart with them and said "none of you are good enough to win one on one at either end of the floor. You need each other, use them." or something to that effect
First off, Oregon had 0 steals and Utah had only 3 turnovers. Wow. That will win games. The two biggest games Utah has won this year (Missouri and Oregon) they have a combined 7 turnovers. Averaging 12.1 per game. Obviously huge. Utah was 10/27 from deep with is just barely above their average so I wouldn't say this was an amazing game from deep but Bibbins showed up when he needed to.
I barely remember Rawson playing and then the dude gets a 21 PER. 3/9 from the field, 1/5 from deep, but 9 rebounds and 7 assists with only 1 turnover. The guy is so important to this team.
Barefield +7.5 PER on his average was also huge. He's been bad on the road and vs Pac12 teams. I guess the tradeoff was Bealer disappeared.
Second point, Pritchard was -2 PER. 2/10 from the field. 0/5 from 3. 4 turnovers. FYI he's their leader. Averaging 15.6 and 4.4 assists. Avg PER is 15.9 so he was -17.9 for the game.
Utah was +20 on possessions. That's huge. They took +10 shots. +1 on offensive rebounds, and -8 on turnovers.
Crazy stat, both teams went 10/27 from deep and both teams had 5 blocks (Wooten had all 5)
14 turnovers was a season low for a Utah game. Average is 25.3 combined.
The teams combined for 18/24 from the line, both season lows for Utah game. Total of 29 fouls was the first time there were less than 30.
122 points was also a season low. 143.4 average.
This was a balanced game across the board (FG almost the same 41.3% to 41.1%, three was exactly the same, Utah was +4.2% from the line 8/11 vs 10/13.
The difference here was turnovers. Utah was -8 on turnovers and that won the game.
Next game, Oregon State. 59th in FG%, 314th in 3pt%, 168th in points, 196th in rebounding.
Former Ute commit Tres Tinkle is leading the team with 18.5 points, he also leads in rebounding at 6.9 and steals at 1.6.
Drew Eubanks is a load. 6'10" 250 pounds, he's reached double figures in 11 of 13 games. Season high 26 pts and 11 rebs vs Long Beach State last month. Had a 10/10 game vs Loyola Marymount.
The Beavers had won 6 in a row in December. A 1 pt loss to Kent State keeps them from being 10-3 and on an 8 game win streak.
Their toughest game of the season was a 5 pt loss to St. John's. They've only faced 2 top 100 teams and lost both (Wyoming)

First off, that is not a misprint. Oregon State was a much more efficient team and Utah didn't deserve to win that game...but they did.
Difference was simple, three point makes. Utah was +5. A couple of those become a 2 and it's overtime.
OSU was +8 on the offensive boards, +5 rebounding overall, +3 on steals, they shot 6% better from the field, 14% better from deep and 6% better from the line
OSU was +22 on possessions over Utah. They took +11 more shots
Utah allows 79.9 efficiency per team. They are 2-3 in games where the opponents score better than 80 on efficiency.
Utah averages 87.7 efficiency per team. They are 1-3 when they score under 80 on efficiency. Obviously 80 is the magic number....but not this game.
This was a game of brothers. Oregon State plays very similar to Utah, scrappy, good passing, pound the inside, team game. Montgomery basketball.
Tres Tinkle is their leader and was only 3/11 from the field but still led them in scoring with 14 and 17 PER.
Barefield dropped below 90% for free thows, now at 88.9%. Utah has 4 players over 80% from the line. (Barefield, Bibbins, Tillman and Caldwell) Utah was 81.3% for the game and needed all 13 makes. This was the 7th game Utah broke the 80% at the line. 6-1 record (Butler was the loss 9/11 attempts).
This sweep surprised a lot of people, it's a great start to the season...but the two toughest home games of the year are next. Winning on the road is what gets you into the dance.
Next up, #17 (and rising) Arizona
8th in FG%, 37th in 3pt %, 46th in points scored, 156th in rebounding.
JMHC better be full and ready to go.

First off, 132 efficiency score for a team? Keep in mind Utah had 126 vs Mississippi Valley State, a game Utah won by 40 and vs current 0-14 Delta Devils.
Utah gave up 123 vs UNLV and 115 vs BYU. 107 vs Butler...all losses.
Next, -23 on the boards, -14 on free throw attempts and -17 on possessions. Second chances and attacking the key won this game for Arizona.
Utah stayed in the game by hitting three's in the second half. +14 attempts and +8 makes. Otherwise, this is a 20+ blowout win for the Wildcats.
Arizona was 30/36 from the line, 83.3%, both season highs for Utah opponent.
Arizona was 4/12 from deep, season lows for UO
Utah only had 4 offensive rebounds for the second straight game. Season average is 7.7. The 23 rebounds was a season low, avg 34.6
Utah did have 8 steals, +3 over their average but was +6 over their average on fouls and the 23 fouls was a season high.
In Utah losses they foul more. +3.4 more fouls in Utah losses.
Here's a huge stat. In the percentage of shot attempts to assists, Utah averages 27.1% of all shot attempts getting an assist. They allow 18.5%
In losses for Utah that number drops to 21.8% but they allow 24.0% of all shots to come off an assist. The answer to that is simple...better teams.
In wins for Utah that number jumps to 29.3% and they only allow 16.4%.
Versus Arizona Utah actually scored high with a 30.5% 18 assists on 59 attempts and only allowed 25.0% (15 ast / 60 shot att)...Utah played well enough to win but the second chances killed them.
The 58 free throw attempts were a season high for a Utah game.
69 rebounds were right at the season average for a Utah game.
The 176 points scored were +31.2 over the average Utah game.
And the combined 204 efficiency was the first 200+ efficiency game this season. Avg 158.5
Utah is currently shooting the highest % of the season from deep.
Started at 25% and shot up to 36.7% then went as low as 31.7% after UNLV and has now climbed back up to 36.7%
Free throw shooting peaked at 79.3% after the Utah State game, currently at 78.2%
2pt shots peaked in game 1 at 66.7% and has gone straight down since. Currently at 52.7% (just 2pt not including 3pt)
The two bright spots in this game were the Utes held Allonzo Trier to 7 points, -14.3 under his average.
But Jackson-Cartwright who was averaging 7 pts, got 19 vs the Utes so they offset.
The other bright spot was Utah didn't give up. Down 17 I gave up, I thought they would. The crowd was great, Ayton was just better.
Side note, Emmanuel Akot should've been a Ute.
Bring on the Devils. Dammit they lost...they're going to be pissed on Sunday and the Devil hates Sundays. Tough game
ASU is 23rd in FG%, 42nd in 3pt%, 74th in Pts scored and 111th in Rebounding.

Heartbreaker but ASU is a solid team, not #4 but they are good.
The one bright side of this week is that Tra Holder and Allonzo Trier didn't kill the Utes....but Shannon Evans and Parker Jackson-Cartwright did.
Utah was 29/36 from the line, both season highs. 3rd straight game shooting over 80% from the line.
31 fouls by ASU was +10 for a Utah opponent.
For the 3rd straight game Utah got killed on possessions. -22 vs Oregon St, -17 vs Arizona and -18 vs Arizona State
This is all on the offensive boards. -8 vs OSU, -10 vs AZ and -7 vs ASU. Second chances.
Giving up 1/4 rebounds to the offense is where you want to be.
Below are the opponents offensive rebounding opportunity results, remember the goal is 25%
37.5% vs Oregon State
46.7% vs Arizona
32.3% vs Arizona State
For Utah on the offensive glass, again getting over 25% is key. Utah is at 24.4% for the season.
17.4% vs Oregon State
12.1% vs Arizona
14.3% vs Arizona State
What this means is Utah is getting beat on the boards.
For the 4th straight game (all Pac12) Utah has been out-rebounded.
-3 Oregon
-5 Oregon State
-23 Arizona
-4 Arizona State
Collette season avg 4.6 rebounds - avg 3.3 in the Pac12
Tillman season avg 6.3 rebounds - avg 6 in 1 Pac12 game
Seeley had 17 rebounds in 2 games - 0 since
Jayce Johnson 5.6 and Rawson 6.4 are the most consistent.
Utah is missing that rebounding monster. Kuzma averaged 9.3 last year. Just don't have that guy this year.
Jayce is a beast on the boards but he's such an offensive liability he can't be out there.
Utah will be fine, they didn't get blown out in either game. Arizona and Arizona State might be 1, 2 in the league this year.
Next up UCLA...78th in FG%, 84th in 3pt%, 26th in scoring, 17th in rebounding.

First off, welcome back Chris Seeley. 3/5 from the field, 7 rebounds in 19 minutes. I can't wait to see Seeley and Tillman at full strength.
Second, what is with Barefield on the road? Dude just disappears.
UCLA only had 8 turnovers. The 3rd time a team had less than 10 turnovers (E Washington and Oregon St)
UCLA only had 14 fouls. Is that Chris Hill's fault? Maybe
UCLA was +5 on steals. +5 on three pointers made. -5 on turnovers.
Utah was awful from deep, 7/26 at 26.9% is bad. Especially when UCLA goes 12/23 52.2%
Utah was 1/3 from the right wing. 0/4 from right corner. 2/5 from the top. 2/11 from the left side wing. 2/3 from left corner (both Bealer)
Utah did much better on the boards. Allowed 78.6% of Utah shots UCLA defensive rebounded (goal is 75%) and 29.6% of UCLA shots offensive rebounded (goal 25%)
This was a very low free throw game. Utah games average 30/39 combined. This game was 22/26, only 30 fouls (avg 38 for Utah game combined)
Only 2 blocks, both from Utah.
147 points was just over the average Utah game at 145.7
UCLA was +11 on possessions
Utah first 7 minutes of 1st half they were outscored 9-21
Utah first 5 minutes of 2nd half they were outscored 4-11
During that 12 minutes Utah was 13-32
The other 28 minutes Utah was even at 51-51
They must not let teams get out on them at the beginning of the halves.
Bring on the Trojans.
USC is 73rd in FG%, 49th in 3Pt%, 34th in scoring, 133rd in rebounding.
USC looks to be favored to win 77-72

Jayce Johnson coming out party. 5/5 from the field. 9 rebounds. 0 turnovers. Great game, great effort.
Tillman seems to be everywhere on the court. He is a big body. Can't wait for him to be at 100% physically and mentally.
PVD had a great game. 2/2 from deep and both shots were beautiful, in rhythm. That's the PVD we've been waiting for.
The rest of you...WTF?
Barefield literally disappears on the road, every single statistic is lower on the road for Sedrick
Field goals - 37.9% at home. 27.6% on the road
3pt % - 33.3% at home. 18.2% on the road
FT% - 92% at home. 88.9% on the road
Assists - 3.1 at home. 1.8 on the road
Points - 12.1 at home. 9.0 on the road
PER - 9.6 at home. 4.0 on the road
- What is his deal? Is it mental? It's not playing time, that's the only category that increases 28.7 min at home, 30.5 min on the road
USC did a great job on Rawson. They made him fight for everything on offense which left his dragging on defense.
He's another guy who disappears on the road. His worst 4 games were (@UCLA, @Oregon St, @Butler, @USC)
Field goals - 48.8% at home. 38.1% on the road
3pt % - 42.9% at home. 23.1% on the road
FT% - 81.8% at home. 66.7% on the road
Points - 12.3 at home. 7.3 on the road
PER - 18.4 at home. 11.7 on the road
These guys have to play better on the road.
Utah was -33 possessions vs USC. In fact, since the Oregon game Utah has been getting killed on possessions. This includes, turnovers, steals, offensive rebounds, shot attempts.
Utah didn't lose this game from deep, although Utah is 0-4 when they make less three pointers than their opponent. They were worse against UCLA -25.3% from deep. Only -6.6% worse vs USC.
They lost this game on simply possessions. -5 offensive rebounds, +10 turnovers, -18 shot attempts, -3 steals. Sloppy basketball, USC just out hustled them.
USC picked up 34.2% of their offensive rebounding opportunities. The goal is to not give up more than 25%. This is the 7th game in a row Utah allowed higher than 25%.
Utah on the other hand has done better on the offensive boards. 30.8% vs USC. 8 offensive boards on 26 missed shots. That's not bad, they just need to stop the other teams. Tillman will help.
I liked Seeley and his aggression. The little altercation he got into was fine, he was being aggressive. The Tillman dunk on Metu was big time. Those two showed why they're considered the most athletic guys on the team.
Seeley is 6/13 from the line this season. I know he wears glasses, maybe pick them up before you head to the line?
Bibbins leads the time in minutes played. He plays 82.9% of every game. Next closest is Rawson at 75%.
Collette is barely playing 53% of every game. That's foul trouble. He leads the team with 3.1 PF/Gm
The team leader right now is Bibbins. He leads in 8 of 22 categories (Minutes 33.2, 3pm/g 2.7, ast/g 4.8, stl/g 1.1, pts/g 13.9, PER/g 16.1, 3p% 47.4%, ast/to 2.38) - worst category is offensive rebounds per game 0.3
Rawson is 2nd
Collette is 3rd
Tillman is 4th
Barefield is 5th
The brutal start to the season is over. Washington and Washington St should be home wins. Utes need them.
Best Ute performances to date for this season.

What has happened to Sedrick Barefield? I almost forgot he was on the team.
Bibbins has been on fire lately. He's averaging 4.1 three point makes per game since Northwestern State. 8 attempts. 51.6%
His PER since BYU is 20.5 per game.
When your 5'8" point guard gets 10 rebounds and your 6'10" power forward has a "great game" with 5. SMH
Chris Hill, money well spent. +11 ft makes and +12 free throw attempts.
Utah held Washington to 6 assists on 65 shots. That's 9.2% a season low for Utah opponent. -7 on fouls.
Utah averages 27.4% on assists to shot attempts for the season. 25.0% vs Washington
Utah was +14.4% from deep. 7/27 for Utah - 2/18 for Washington
Possessions were closer to even for the first time in Pac12 play. Utah was -20 possessions per game since Oregon. -4 vs Washington
Utah was -4 on steals and -3 on blocks. Washington was more athletic, but Utah is a better team.
Utah games average 145 points, this game was 132 total. Only the third time under 135.
This was a terrible shooting game. 82 rebounds was the third time there were 80+ rebounds.
The combined 38% is only the 3rd time teams combined for worse than 40%.
Utah killed it on the offensive boards. 51.4% of all offensive rebound opportunities were had. Season high before was 37.9% (Ole Miss)
Utah had 18 offensive boards (season high) on 35 missed shots. If a team gets over 25% they have a higher probability of winning.
Sadly, Washington also had an above average offensive rebounding game. 42.5%. It's really the only thing that kept them in this game. That and steals.
Speaking of steals, what was up with Barefield just throwing the ball to Washington? SMFH
Bring on the Cougars. Utah can't afford a letdown. They need that Washington St game for confidence before they head to Arizona
Washington St
161st in FG% - 33rd in 3pt% - 215th in scoring - 215th in rebounding.
