Team really lacks leadership. Kuzma was a goof ball when he started & still has his moments.
Bonam has a low basketball IQ. Ball stops when it hits his hands & he starts dribbling. Everyone else stops too as they know he is not a passer.
Not sure why the move to start Zamora. Although his minutes were limited. Barefield is so much better--& is creative.
Team needs to build from freshmen up----hope they can bring in 1 or 2 more & not go JC route.
NIT here we come.

Not a single tough minded player on the team.
Which is worse - the football team losing to Cal or Oregon or the basketball team losing to a winless Oregon St.?

The title of this thread is especially good... and painful.

A decent high school player should be able to inbound that play, let alone a red-shirt freshman who's relatively highly recruited.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
You know how facebook has your memories it shows you. Here is mine from 2014 against Arizona.
Its so frustrating watching your team fall apart in the end. Case in point. With 33 seconds left in regulation and the Utes down 1 Jordan Loveridge goes to the line with to shoot two. He of course only make 1 (80% ft shooter on the year). In overtime down 2 with 1:45 left Brandon Taylor is fouled shooting a three. He is a 89% FT shooter on the year. He misses all three free throws. Utes then get a stop and their best player and surest passer Delon Wright passes to a wide open and going to be dunking Bachinsky (who is 7 ft btw) but the ball sails 5 feet over his head.
AAAARRGGGG!!! I am surprised I didnt wake the whole house up last night.

Ouch, I remember that one well. I was there. Ugh!
Closing out close games is a problem for Larry's teams, and has been for his entire tenure at Utah. By my count we are 1-6 this season in closing out games decided by 6 points or less. I wonder what his record is overall since coming to Utah?

Is Bonham really our best option when the clock is winding down? He turns the ball over every time in those situations.

He probably has some credibility built up from the game winner vs. Cal in Vegas last year. I would say that Devon Daniels is our best option for just about everything right now. Given the circumstances, I'd almost rather have Zamora bring it up because he's so fast and can either get to the hoop, and make the ref make a call (not that they likely would) or kick it to someone for a jumper.

So glad I miss d this game. Was on vacation and forgot it was occurring. Also, with this team I'm in my self-protective fair weather fan cocoon.

The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

Lest we forget, remember we beat Duke notwithstanding a bizarre, near epic collapse at the end.

True. I'll be the "glass half-empty" guy and say that was just another instance of a near-catastrophic Ute lack of poise in crunch time, and we were simply lucky. It is an interesting long-term weakness in LK's teams, and I have no idea what causes it or how he might fix it.
