Neither Onwas nor Fields is afraid of mixing it up physically with opponents, and they're both 6'5" -- and Onwas is pretty beefy and strong. It'll be interesting to see the lineup Thursday.
    Fields is a D.C. kid - we breed 'em tough.

    We need a mad scientist to combine Tucker, Ogbe, Onwas, and Fields into one.

    Tucker and Ogbe for shooting, Onwas for athleticism, and Fields for facial hair.

    If we have such a scientist, I'd be much more inclined to give Bachynski's body to JO.

    That elbow to the head to Delon was nasty

    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.

    Nice to get some calls at home. I've missed that.

    They've managed to stay in the game but will lose if they don't clean up the TOs. I hope Larry has some wise and compelling words for them at halftime.

    An inbounds play!

    I hate to criticize our best player (and I've made this point before), but Delon LOVES offense and doesn't love defense.

    No, I am not currently high. He is a really good defender (Taylor is our best, I submit), but he should be great. With his quickness, length, and anticipation he should be able to lock down any perimeter guy in the league. Instead, he stands too upright and gets beat off the dribble and goes for the cheap reach around. His athleticism allows him to be an adequate defender, but he really should be an elite one. I just think he half-asses it a lot on D.

    A couple of really nice plays by Olson here at the end. He made two really nice passes that led to easy layups and then a good block that led to a run-out. Olson looks a lot more comfortable out there tonight.

    I'm loving the way the guys are gutting this out, but I continue to be amazed at how easily other teams get into the paint and to the hoop.

    He makes great defensive plays, no doubt. His anticipation steal that led to the dunk was a thing of beauty. But he coasts - watch Kodiak when we get back on defense, he's often yelling at Delon. He's a great help defender (picking up steals & blocks off the ball), but he's not a great team defender.

    CJ Wilcox, what might have been. Thanks Boylen!

    If I were at the game, I would have made a sign that said "CJ, you could have been Jordan Loveridge. You blew it."

    he will be all conference defensive team.

    Nice win. I like the way we closed it out. If Zona wins, we can move up, but that is in doubt arthritis moment.

    I would like to taste .500 in Pac play before we face the UCLA/Zona couplet.

    Don't blame Boylen. Blame Wilcox. And boo him all game long.

    That second half was some of the best offensive basketball I've seen out of a Utah basketball team in quite some time. They were really clicking against a pretty athletic team. A lot of impressive court vision and crisp, clean passes. Also did a better job taking care of the ball after a lousy first half.

    Olsen and Bach both looked good, but we really need more boards out of that spot. 6 boards in 41 minutes from the big 3 just won't cut it. That said, thanks to Loveridge we still outrebounded UW by 10.

    Genetics has been pretty disappointing as a science so far. Even worse than chemistry.

    I didn't see the game thanks to an evening meeting. But we outrebounded them as a team. Maybe our bigs sealed things off for Loveridge and the others?
