    As I understand it, there will be rails something like these added to the Huntsman so that curtains can be hung. Also sound equipment for concerts.

    Especially cause Utah looked awful during the first half. Out of rhythm, lots of unforced errors. Glad we are only down two.

    yes, especially since Loveridge and Wright have four points between them.

    A little surprised we've seen van Dyke today but not Ogbe. Loveridge needs to show up in the 2nd half.

    Looks like our game plan is to shoot treys. Bad turnovers by Taylor. This could get ugly. First basket of the half at 14:27?

    21-7 run. They're shooting lights out, we can't buy a basket. Loveridge is really under-performing. So is Delon. That means death to our chances. We're looking at a rout.

    UCLA essentially pressing us in the half-court. They probably figured out that they have enough of an edge in quicks that they can get away with that. We look utterly stymied on offense.

    Wow, Olson is sooo soft. I hope Krysko banishes him to the weight room all summer. Maybe sign him up for boxing or martial arts lessons. Sheesh.

    At this point I'd much rather see Bach under the hoop with the ball than Olsen. That's saying a lot.

    Loveridge is a virtual no-show on the road, he scores his average, we have a chance to win.

    Bach wasn't great, either; he didn't get a single board. We just need to get more from the 4 and 5 spots.

    I was really surprised that Krysko ran Taylor at the point for long stretches of the first half, when Wright was on the floor. I thought Brandon had a phenomenal first half, both offensively and defensively. But Delon is not a 2-guard. He needs the ball. I don't know if it was a matchup thing (Brandon was killing his guy off the dribble), but it was something I haven't seen much of. Oh, Delon also needs to learn to throw a soft alley oop for Batshitski when Batty rolls to the hoop on a pick and roll and his man helps on Delon. There were two or three opportunities but Delon just pulled it out.

    JLo was really not with it tonight. Was it just me or did he sit for a long time in the first half? Not sure if it was fouls or what, but I didn't see him out there.

    Lastly, if PVD is going to be our zone breaker, he needs to let it rip. He is really tentative on offense right now. Hitting the backboard from the corner three will do that to you, I suppose.

    I just think they were too long and too quick for us. We still played badly. I was thinking about consistency. Delon seems to be the only player who performs consistently, game after game. I love Jordan, but he too often disappears.

    I was fascinated (happily) to see Ogbe playing so aggressively. Kid's gonna be a good one.

    Let's see if we can go at least 2-3 in this upcoming home stand.
