Here we go, back at the Huntsman. I'm hoping for a couple of nasty blowout wins.

I hope for a 30+ point blowout on Wed. My boss is a WSU grad, and he was gloating about the Cougs' win in Seattle last week.
Unfortunately, after pulling his bacon out of the fire continually over the last year, I screwed up at work a few weeks ago. Despite putting in my best efforts and orchestrating a full recovery from the mistake he still isn't talking to me.
Go Utes. Crush the Cougs.
I'm not sure the best thing to hope for is your favorite team crushing his then.Originally Posted by NorthwestUteFan
I don't know what you do, but I'm shocked that there is a wsu fan out there in a leadership position.
Believe me, I greatly prefer the WSU-type of Coug to the byu-p type. This place is lousy with zoobs.
He was insufferable after the football game. And again after Kaelin Clay dropped the ball in the Oregon game. I look forward to returning the smug comments.
This is so true. I constantly run into rich and powerful Wasu grads. Like people from Utah they have a chip on their shoulers that can make them insuffereble but helps achievement.

These are two of just 6 home games left this year (7 on the road after this).

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.

Opening line is... Utah -19.5
Phil Cullen's e-mail to Crimson Club members today:
This could be a trap game. I hope the Utes are "locked in," to use a Krysko phrase.This week we have the Washington Schools coming into town. The week starts off tomorrow night as we host Washington State at 7 pm in the Huntsman Center. We will then host Washington on Sunday at 6:30 pm.
Washington State is a completely different team this year now that Ernie Kent is their Head Coach. In the past they have been a slower team from a possessions per game stand point but this year they are picking up the tempo ranking second in the Pac-12 Conference at 69 poss. per game.
They are led by Davonte Lacy who we had the privilege of coaching this summer in the Pac-12 All-Star trip to China. He is an excellent ball in hand scorer and plays at a great pace. A jack-of-all-trades, he does many things very well and is an outstanding shooter averaging 17.6 ppg in conference play. After Lacy they have been going to 610 big man Josh Hawkinson. Hawkinson is much improved from a year ago and is now averaging 14.8 ppg and 12.2 rpg in conference. He has the ability to extend the floor with shooting range and will be a tough match up.
Washington State has a great supporting cast around these two who are all-capable of playing in transition and are one of the better 3-pt shooting teams in the conference.
Defensively we will see man-to-man defense. They like to switch like sizes on defense on pick on balls and other crossing actions.
We will need to continue to improve in areas that we did not perform well this past weekend. Rebounding will be an emphasis and getting defensive stops which helps us get out and play to our strengths.
Tomorrow will be our first WHITEOUT! Join the team and wear WHITE to the game! Hope to see you at the Huntsman tomorrow.
GO UTES!

I can't imagine the Utes will be flat. The rebounding numbers should be interesting---I will be surprised if WSU gets an offensive rebound.
I am told by a person I totally trust that Larry gave the team a fiery reaming-out after the Arizona game, calling out individuals for lack of effort and toughness. I imagine that stung and I hope it will have the desired effect.

Phil Cullen's latest e-mail:
*****
"University of Washington comes into the Huntsman Center with a 14-4 overall record. Washington once held a Top 20 ranking nationally before losing a couple of close games the past couple of weeks.
"Washington is led Nigel Williams-Goss who was a McDonalds All-American in high school. He is averaging 17 ppg and almost 6 apg in Pac-12 Conference play. Goss plays the point and next to him at the guard spot is Andrew Andrews who is averaging 13 ppg and won the game at the buzzer versus Colorado last night.
"They have the best shot-blocking center in the country in Robert Upshaw. Upshaw, a legit 7'0", averages 4 bpg in Conference play and averaging almost a double double with 11 ppg and nearly 10 rebounds a game.
"Washington has a handful of role players who complement the names mentioned above. They will look to push the tempo on offense and will run a lot of their offense from a high 1-4 set.
"Defensively they have been best when they are up-tempo with ball pressure creating turnovers and running on missed shots. They have been playing much more 2-3 zone as of late so we must prepare for both.
"I also wanted to mention that Sunday's game is our Cancer Awareness game. Please join us in being Huntsman Strong by bringing a new teddy bear to the game to toss on the court at halftime. All teddy bears will be donated to patients receiving treatment at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital. Prior to the halftime teddy bear toss, stop by the kids zone located at portal 6 and tie a ribbon around your teddy bear to represent the cancer that personally affects you.
"One thing we preach in our program is family. This past year, our Utah family has been greatly affected by cancer. We would like to share this video with you in honor of our Cancer Awareness game. Please click here to view."

I have two tickets to the game tomorrow if anyone wants them. Section Y, row 22. The guy directly to your left across the aisle will leave before the game ends no matter what is happening in the game. He's been doing it for 20+ years. Seriously, it can be an absolute barn-burner of a game and he pops out of there. Perhaps his victories come from being the first out of the parking lot.

It looks to me like the Pac-12 belongs to Arizona (I'm not giving up, but I think most outsiders would agree right now) and that 2nd place is a battle between Utah and Stanford. I feel like Wazzu is a poor man's Stanford, so this should be a good measuring stick in a way. Stanford has Randle' Wazzu has Lacy. Hawkinson gets 11 rpg for WSU, and the Brown/Nastic combo gets 14 rpg for the Cards.
Jesus. I told you; keep your hysteria and defeatism to yourself. Or, start a thread with Applejack.

Poeltl was not on the floor for warm ups, nor was he on the bench
Poeltl is out. In street clothes.
Announcers said that the technical foul assessed before tipoff was due to Utah players dunking during warmups. Is this a rule, or did a player dunk in a particularly offensive way?

Never heard of that rule before

According to my quick Google search, the NCAA Rule Book says a technical foul is to be assessed for:
A team member dunking or attempting to dunk a dead ball before or during the game, or during any intermission.

Someone who lost a game because of this rule:

Stupid rule. Officially the players can't touch the rim before the game. If the refs see it they will call it.
We are playing sloppy

So, we win by 22 while playing poorly at times and without our big man. I'll take it!
