No one seems to have started a thread for this game. Here we go. I saw somewhere that we are 9-point favorites.

For kids who went to K's basketball camp this summer, it is a reunion game. I'll be there with my boys.
I'm envious. Have fun!

I'm watching this game on tape delay. We are cutting down our Xmas tree this afternoon. Lots of snow up in Redding California last night so it may be slow going up into the mountains.
I can't listen to this game on the radio because RSL is on KALL. The FM station (99.1) doesn't work in Tunein Radio. Score updates would be appreciated!

40-39 for Utah at half. Utah with an 8-0 run To finish the half.
Wright playing well, Loveridge has been quiet. Tucker and Taylor also playing well.
Interesting that Love is starting slow again.

It hasn't been a bad slow start. He's made some good moves, but they're allowing a lot of contact around the rim and he's had several plays where he's gotten no call
46-39 Utes with 17:30 left. Loveridge starting to assert himself on offense, and more energy by the team on defense.
59-54 For the Utes with 11:45 left in the game.
75-59 Utes with 7:03 left. Nice run, causing Fresno to call a time out. Wright penetrating at will.
Pulling away, little by little.

82-71 for the Utes. Fresno sstatting to foul with 4:00 left. They obviously know of our free throw troubles.
Also, Fresno's top scorer has fouled out.
Delon Wright 23 points 12 assists and 6 rebounds.
Team has 21 assists to 6 turnovers

I <3 Delon Wright in ways that I have not loved a Utah player since Andre Miller...
He's so smooth, and versatile.
Defensively we put him on their best player, #23, he guarded #3, the smaller guard who scores well, he's not strong enough to really defend the post, but between Wright and our other wings we can easily switch on defense and not really have problems, except if Taylor gets on a bigger guy.
Offensively Delon sees the play before it happens. Scoring 23 today is a little out of his MO, because he naturally looks to distribute the ball. The Bigs should give him some nice Christmas presents, because he routinely gives them the ball in places to easily score, like Lenz' little jump hook off a Wright dish in the first half. I counted 6 assists before the game was 12 minutes in.
If you try to stop him, he gets the ball to those who can score. If you lay off him, he'll take it to the hole or he'll nail a 3. At this point he lets the game come to him, and takes whatever is available, but if he gets stronger and develops his own crunch-time repetoire of shots, he'll be a real monster.
He's our best player since Bogut, which really isn't going back that far, granted, but if he gets stronger over the off season, he's unquestionably a next level player.
At this point I would say Clyburn was a slightly better outside shooter, but Wright has all the other parts of the game down much better than Clyburn did. It's not even close.
Delon Wright is awesome. Just finished watching the game. We are a much better basketball team than last gear. This was a good win to get. We have a very good chance to beat byu next weekend.
I went to the game and enjoyed it a great deal. Wright is fun to watch and Loveridge is tough as well. I know Cougar fans are underestimating our chances next Saturday, but I doubt Dave Rose and his players will. The fact that both Boise and Fresno played mostly zone will help us since the Zoobs will zone the whole time as well.
A quick question for anyone who knows: Did Onwas get hurt or did Coach K just decide not to put him back in the game after he came out in the opening minutes?
Also, I was wondering why Bachynski didn't play at all? Was it just a bad matchup or is he hurting again? I though he played pretty well against both Ball State and Boise State.
Not sure on Bachynski, but maybe it was just Lenz and Olson playing well. I think Lenz was a better match up for their athletic center.
Onwas just wasn't as useful against the zone as players who can shoot.
My guess is that Batshintski was a poor defensive matchup against their 4 1/2 guard lineup.
Anyone else notice/think that Wright doesn't showboat or celebrate, just lets his play do the talking? I like that.

Krysko said on his post game that Onwas is not as up to speed with our Zone package as it is more complicated.
He said he didn't want him go lose confidence because of that, so he opted to play Dakari once it was obvious they were going to zone us.
And I think Bachynski was just a poor matchup and thus didn't play....and Olsen had his best game as a Ute IMO
Through 8 games the Utes have 151 assists to 76 turnovers, a team 2.0 average. Their opponents 69 assists to 106 turnovers, a team .7 average.
Wrights assist to turnover ratio is 3.6
That kind of A/T ratio will get him on some postseason A-A honors at seasons end. It's about unsustainable. So is his percentage for the field. If he's better than 2-1 at seasons end and is shooting in excess of 55 percent form the field, I don't see how he doesn't get third team A-A honors. Maybe even better.
Tony Jones reported Onwas had a minor hamstring tweak, that coupled with the zone is what kept him on the bench
One other stat, Utah has made 254 field goals, they have an assist on 59% of those makes
