The Utah Basketball Rebuild Project Thread: 2013 and after

[Scorcho]

We did lose to a lower seed in Vegas, but only 1 game separated Utah and Oregon in the final conference standings.

2nd year in a row Utah was able to grab a 1st round bye in Vegas, but lost to a higher seed

Last year #5 Cal played the night before and beat us.

Sure, but again, neither of the games were upsets. A 3/6 games seems like a big seeding difference, but Oregon and Utah were even in the conference. The 4/5 game last season...ditto. Not that I'm happy to lose, but on your ultimatum to Larry list, that one is small compared to the revolving door issue. The fact that we have repeatedly had to cobble teams together last minute through transfers and late pick-ups is far more concerning that the scheduling issue or the fact that we've lost a couple of close 50/50 games in Vegas.
