I've been banging this drum all season. I feel like Utah has more depth than Larry allows. We see these flashes of Ogbe and Fields, we know they can play. Of course they will have freshman moments, but the upside is there both in the short- and long-run for more consistent minutes from those guys. It has been driving me crazy all year to see Wright play 40 minutes a game and Loveridge play 38. I find it hard to believe that we can't get these guys 2-3 minutes of rest each half without everything going to hell.
One encouraging thing from last night was that we made that second half run with Wright on the bench. Hopefully, that will give Larry the confidence to give him some rest. Personally, I think there's a connection between Wright playing all 40 and not being able to finish games strong, leading to close losses. I also think Wright has been slowing down overall in the last couple of weeks. He needs some rest.
Oh and if anyone can figure out what in the world is going on with Dakarai Tucker I would love to know.
