    I don't know. It's a proven fact that I'm a strong believer in human redemption.
    One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

    --Albert Einstein

    The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

    --Richard Dawkins

    Be kind to all, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

    It’s a “fact” that you believe something?

    If we want to. I think we can set the score.

    Those who follow Utah basketball understood that for the Utes to compete, they needed Gach and Battin to make a jump in their games. The Utes have won every game in which these two have scored in double figures and have lost the two games that they did not.

    Allen seems to have made the jump we need. Gach seems like he's developed in good ways, but he hasn't been consistent, and his ball handling is still too rough.

    Hopefully, Carlson and Jauntunen will develop as the season goes. I think that's a reasonable hope.

    Allen certainly has, but he's also trying to do too much by himself right now. I think of Utah's 20ish turnovers vs. Tulane, he had 7 or 8 of them. Now, that said, that is how it is going to be if the other guys aren't getting open, hitting shots, etc.

    The rotation was also odd for a team playing its third game in four days. Thiune got 3 minutes and Plummer 4.

    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.

    Here's some data I posted to the Twitter that may or may not be interesting:

    In Larry's tenure, Utah is 16-10 in exempt tournaments and 5-4 in opening-round games.

    However...

    3 of those tournaments were hosted in SLC against pretty bad competition in which Utah went 9-0. So, take those away and we're 7-10 in those exempt tournaments and 2-4 in opening round games. Not great.

    Next year we play in the Battle 4 Atlantis, which features Duke, Creighton, Texas A&M, Ohio St., Marshall, WVU, and Wichita St.

    Last year, our OOC KenPom average finished at 165 and had a NET of 161. This year, our current OOC KenPom average is 178.

    Three more decent opportunities remain:

    BYU - 76
    Kentucky - 6
    SDSU - 66

    The other three games will not help...at all.

    Nevada is 104 and Minnesota is 73.

    A lot of our SOS issues can be traced back to this stat. You have to win the first game in these things.

    Absolutely. It's a huge issue. I think I had tracked the non-conference average with Baylor/Miss St. in instead of Ohio/Tulane in the 140s somewhere. Just a huge difference, and to your point, same last year with Seton Hall/Miami vs. NW and Grand Canyon, and so on.
