You'll notice no Pac12 players until we get to 29 and 30th. Zion is just a man among boys.

Interesting that Jayce jumps up to 21.3 PER when accounting for 40 minutes.
Josh Sharma appears to be deserved of more playing time.
Sharma is playing 16 minutes, shooting 64% 8 points 5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks

Hello Timmy Allen.
Utah season high, 29 PER. 10 rebounds, 21 points, 4 assists, 3 steals. That's the guy we heard so much about.
Sed led the team in scoring with 22 but 7/15 shooting dropped his PER to 17.
Utah was up 41-19 at half and coasted to a victory. Colorado tried to make it interesting,
Colorado was 1/6 from three in the first half and 5/11 in the second half
Colorado only had 10 assists, tied season low (Tulsa) and 1 block. Utah allows 4 blocks per game
Utah tied a season high in free throw attempts with 29 and blocks with 5. In fact, 10 blocks over the past 2 games.
30% of Utah season blocks have come in the last 3 games (17.6% of season).
Utah was +5 on steals and +4 on blocks (both season highs).
Colorado didn't look great but they were blitzed and shell-shocked in the first half and never recovered
Utah actually took 9 less shots than Colorado but they had the same number of possessions, meaning Colorado had +3 offensive boards.
The turning point was early. Utah was up 12-7. Utah got 6 steals in three minutes. Two ally-oop dunks and the lead ballooned to 21-7 in those three minutes.
Utah pushed it up to 24 at the 5 minute mark at 37-13 and reached a lead of 28 with 16:35 in the second half at 49-21.
Colorado made a huge push and cut it to 10 with 3:28 and eventually a final deficit of 9.

Well, this only happens maybe once a year. Stanford had a better efficiency score but lost the game.
Utah stole this one.
Utah won this game shooting from three. 64.3% was a season high 9/14 (14 attempts was a season low)
Stanford was only 4/17 (4 was a season low for makes for an opponent)
Utah was -5 for shot attempts
-6 offensive rebounds
-10 in blocks (10:0 by the way)
-7 in rebounds
-1.8% at the free throw line
only 40% off assists from made shots
...however, Utah was +40.8% from deep. Ballgame
21 combined assists was a season low for a Utah game.
The teams combined for 13/31 from deep, both season lows.
You can see below, neither team got a lead bigger than 6. 11 lead changes. Tied 10 times. This was a good game to watch.

Timmy Allen notched his second career double-double, both in the past week.
He now holds the #1 and #2 spots for efficiency high in a Utah game.
Cal is not a good team. Sueing is good and that's about it.
Utah pulled a season high 32 defensive rebounds and grabbed 94.1% of defensive rebound opportunities
The 5 offensive rebounds by Cal wasn't a season low for Utah opponent but 5 under the average allowed.
Utah only shot 3/9 from the free throw line, 33.3% was a season low, 3 makes was also a season low.
Utah registered an assist on 39.4% of all made shots, that was a season low for Utah. Average is 55.7%
Utah did make 33 shots which was only 2 off their season high, around the likes of Mississippi Valley and Washington St.
Again, the Bears aren't very good this year.
Utah was +8 on turnovers but -17% from the line. Otherwise Utah wins this by 30.
They were +17 on rebounds, second highest to Florida A&M and the 18 point win ties the third largest defeat with Washington St.
The teams combined for a season low 8/19 from the line, both lows. Combined 42.1% also a season low, but it didn't matter to Utah.
They owned the glass and made 4 more threes and 8 more shots. Ballgame.
The announcers kept alluding to the 50/50 balls, I don't track that but Utah dominated that stat.
Utah got down early but after the 8:35 mark in the first half and a PVD three Utah never looked back
Cal made a push to end the first half but Utah quickly pushed it to 14 at the 15:32 mark on a Sed three 58-44 and Utah coasted to a victory.

Big week versus the very beatable Oregon teams. Don't look now but Utah is in 2nd place in the Pac12.

Oregon had 11 steals, season high for Utah opponent.
Plus, the Ducks did a really good job on the offensive glass, 35.5% of all opportunities. Season avg is 30.2%
Utah had 17 turnovers which was +4 over their average. Ballgame.
Richardson was very efficient. missed 4 shots, 0 turnovers, 3 blocks, 5 rebounds. Overall great game.
For Utah, Tillman had a great game going 4/5 from deep but he didn't take a single shot inside the arc.
When your beefy 3 is shooting from deep, something seems off. He needs to be imposing his size inside.
Oregon only had 10 assists but they didn't need them. They had +2 possessions and shot +24% better from the line.
Utah was only 13/23 from the line and they are 16/32 in the last 2 games 50%, terrible.
If they shoot 80% from the line, Utah wins.
If they make 2 less bad passes, Utah wins.
If they grab two more defensive boards, Utah wins.
The turning point was at the 6:22 mark in the first half. JJ just made two free throws to put Utah up 14 at 30-16. 8 Utah turnovers later and Oregon ends the half on a 22-4 run.
Oregon continued into the second half for 12 minutes and at the 7:37 mark in the 2nd half, Oregon was up 60-47. That would conclude a 44-17 run for Oregon and they coasted to the victory.
